Make it a fantasy board if you like, such as: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Paul McCartney, Al Gore and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then say why you think that these people would be successful where you feel the current board is, hum, lacking. I think having real insight from OGB members would be a real boon for the next election, both in prompting people to stand for office, and for educating the electorate as to the real issues.
