+Excellent point. Believe me, I don't want to mess up with this. So...
+several options (non exclusive from each other):
+ - this is going to be a founding board, we may set up a renewal of a
+part of if in the next weeks/months (that is, not waiting for one full
+year or next FOSDEM);
+ - we invite/elect one/two people for that (best, I believe);
+ - the board is not all; it's important, but active members are as
+well; and we will have to rely on teams working among themselves and
+reporting to the board;
+ - goodwill and trust is crux; the communication flow must be
+encouraged and assumed by the board as well as all members; we don't
+expect the board to ignore what happens in the community, otherwise,
+how would the whole thing turn out?...
+ - other?
+
+Opinions?
