-    The proposal is to widen the pool from which the Foundation can attract candidates to stand for election 
as directors, by allowing individuals who are not currently Foundation members to submit their candidacy for 
election. This change is intended to bring new skills and experience into the governance of the Foundation. 
At present, Foundation membership is granted principally based on contributions to the GNOME project which 
means the process selects for skills already present in our community, such as software development, design, 
translation, documentation or engagement. Whilst we do have some members who also bring experience at 
fundraising, nonprofit governance and establishing partnerships with external organizations, they are in the 
minority. The Board would like to establish additional pathways to try and attract individuals with these 
skills into the Foundation.
