It would definitely be worth I think to have a meeting where not only
the Board of Directors but also the Board of Trustees (TDF members)
_participates_. And that would need preparations, is my first feeling.

Unless I'm missing something, the Board of Trustees includes already all the informally called "members" (AKA Board of Directors + Membership Committee + Members).

Yes, that is what I meant to say. Board of Trustees is the official name for TDF members. And obviously members of the BoD are TDF members too.

If your proposal Cor is to allow the participation of the full Board of Trustees and not only the Board of Directors I think it will be also important to consider the possibility to have this workshop in its hybrid version, giving to the whole Board of Trustees a chance to participate (not only in person but also from remote).

It is important to have broad input, from basically anyone. However when the board discusses an items, that may have a dynamic that is different from when the 'general community' talks about the same. If only because of the number of people involved. So I think it just makes sense to prepare these meetings. Get e.g. a (broad) sense of questions that live, think about a sensible order to discuss, possibly invite (not force) people to share questions and ideas in advance, share some background info.. Such things. I think there is no blue print that fits every topic. So starting preparing early enough with 2, 3 people and gradually broadening that, could be useful.

Then others joining, in the sense of being present more than actively
involved, could be considered too.

...this sounds to me that community members not part of the Board of Trustees can't really participate but only "listen" but as I wrote before I'm probably missing the full picture here.

I don't want to exclude anyone, but it does not seem unnatural that members are a bit more involved somehow?

I would say, we're on our way finding out what works best in this case.
Does that make sense to you?

Cheers,
Cor
