I have views on both votes, but I'll just share one, as I no longer feel that sharing any more of my viewpoint about the WMF board and its elections here or on-wiki would be welcome, or make any difference apart from helping to paint a bigger target on my back.
Having James back on the board is helpful in demonstrating the election has value in its currently limited format, and gave a strong and unambiguous message back to the WMF board of trustees. He provides some of us long termers a friendly private channel with a trustworthy fellow volunteer, who has no worrying political or commercial interests.
