Hello, If those three seats are to be elected by the community, then voting should be restricted actually to the power editors. I could imagine that one of those three seats - or, instead, a fourth one - is elected by the staff, maybe plus the members of the Advisory board. E.g. Greenpeace Germany has 1/4 of its board members elected by staff. With 2 seats selected by the chapters and in future maybe the thorgs, and 3 by the editing community, and 1 by the staff, more than half of the board members would be not directly coopted. Many other varieties are possible, of course. The staff could together vote one elector who would take part in the selection by the chapters, the same for the Wikimedia User Groups. But then, this voting group should select ultimately not 2 but 3 seats. People who don't edit but belong to the movement can have their influence via the chapters and in future the thorgs.
