@Mastodon Why not have a user-elected board of directors? A real missed opportunity to bring democratic values to Mastodon.
Good to see that Mastodon has a 501(c)(3)! Also,, even if not all the board is elected, there's a lot of value in what Wikimedia and Global Voices do, with at least some board seats open to election from staff and the community.
With regular elections, the board gets to see and hear from the evolving set of hopes, concerns, and constituencies that are of interest to the community every time an election arises.
Well said. Representative boards can also better support executive leadership in moving the org towards its mission. They provide guardrails against distractions outside of the scope of strategic plans.
