Hi, that is very very early for the installation of a "board". What are the topics only a board can do? I think at this stage of project existence it should be a goal to involve everyone participating as much as possible. And I doubt the installation of a board supports this. I think you first need a community that you want to "steer".
I have the impression we really should care about transparency. Announcing a board and a board "model" without any prior announcement or discussion is not very sensible to other people involved. I can live with this board but e.g. I want to know what/where put Marcus and Michael in charge? Both are rather absent from this list and Marcus is "recovering slowly". If there were any decisions that must have been made while meeting in personal or by private email. That's what I mean. Please correct me if I missed something important. Maybe it is just whining from my site and not worth it. But I'm really sensible to such things and I (too) must organize very well where to spend my spare time.
