+With global online ad-hoc polls on specific issues/subjects?
+
+By raising their voice (or someone for them if they don't speak english) 
+on the global forum?
+
+Voting for the board or voting on specific issues is two different 
+matters.
+
+The board memebers are not hidden away behind layers of security guards, 
+they have email addresses and names and surely partecipate in some 
+forums/MLs so it should be always possible for anyone to bring something 
+directly to their attention.
