Sun is already one of the major financial sponsors of many GNOME activities, and has seats on the GNOME Advisory Board and the GNOME Foundation board of directors. So to be honest, I think we're already as well represented in those arenas as we could reasonably expect to be, especially if this discussion ever reaches that level. (Which I think it would probably have to; I can't see how it would be up to the GNOME release team to set that kind of direction for the whole GNOME project.)
