Thanks Dave! I'll send a message to the membership committee.

I don't mind at all. The reason is really a combination of many.
Primarily, over the last years the philosophy of the GNOME community has
shown itself to be incompatible with my philosophy. As a side effect,
the GNOME desktop has become, in many instances, inappropriate for our
usage. 

When I look at the list of candidates for the current board elections
and find that I can't justify to vote for any of the candidates, it is
quite obvious that for me to remain in the foundation is inappropriate.
