I don't know Mr. Geshuri, have never seen editing him. So i can't trust him, especially after the google scandal.
I don't think board members need to be active editors.
The board is supposed to have expert knowledge. And expertise is not just editing Wikipedia, but also overseeing a large organization such as WMF. It's good to have both board members who are expert on wikis, and to have experts on financial management and administration.
(The Google scandal is an entirely different thing of course, and a much better reason to question the decision to make Arnnon a board member)
