I tried to understand how you went from what I said to this, but I
couldn’t. While you used the same keywords I had in my original
statement, you wrote something that is quite unrelated to what I said.

The board does not make people do anything, so it would be difficult
for it to force a structure or hierarchy. There already is a structure
in place and I really can’t see where you’re going with this.

How is that different from the current teams we have?

Interesting, indeed. You plan to bring decentralisation to GNOME's
political and ethical values of the board, too?

If so, how would that look like? A confederation of areas of expertise
with each a small hierarchy of decision making?

Which areas would there be? Marketing, technical, organisational,
conference and hackfests, documentation, i8an, financial, etc?



Kind regards,
