Well, I personally would like to see 11 people on the board that know
and love GNOME really well, and will vote accordingly. They should be
well informed of the daily happenings in the project and, at the very
least, be running GNOME on their machine - more than just once a year.

In my opinion, I think RMS has an important part to play, but just not
on the board...but I would hope that those elected to the board would
use his knowledge and experience whenever necessary, as with anyone
else.

				See ya,
