Hi all, By an amazing coincidence, just today there's been a Board Retreat and we've discussed this very question. We agreed that there should be a community representative on the board, and we'll be putting together a process for this shortly. So watch this space!
Other board members are selected to ensure the critical board functions around governance can be delivered by people with the appropriate skills and expertise; we hope to refresh the processes and documents to explain this in more detail shortly too.
