So vote for members who do things. If you have less members and they
then turn out not to do anything will be better or worse

Thats not IMHO caused by the size of the board (well unless you reduce
it to one person) but by a lack of definite responsibilities fixed with
each board member. Far better to make one person charged with PR, one
with infrastructure, one with corporate politics etc so that for the
general case its clear who to contact and who is responsible
