More suggestions :
0. Can the MOA /bylaws for the org include a clause that all office
bearers use the mailing list for official discussions. The PSF does
it. Its a invite only list with private archives.
1. Discussions should be floated on the mailing list and opinions from
members taken before the board takes a decision.
2. Elections should be public. <---discussion needed.  Debian, Gnome
and Ubuntu conduct them in a public way. Maybe we can work this out in
a way that everyone gets an opportunity to contribute and no
individual or those representing an organisation can have a vested
interest. Ex. Gnome foundation members are supposed to openly state
their affiliations and the discussions take place on their foundation
list.
