My apologies. I read your previous suggestion during the travel guide discussion and the only real route for communicating with a Board member to solicit a proposal seemed to me to be private user-to-user e-mail. Are there other (a)venues available? Should people be using wiki user talk pages for this? At some point, there's a (somewhat awkward) divide between the way other non-profit boards operate and wiki culture. E-mail seemed like the only logical bridge in this context, but perhaps there are better solutions. Drafting resolutions on Meta-Wiki sounds good. Does the Board do that?
