I see. And how could people of the first group (the users) be
recognized by the board if there is no representation of the users on
the board? The board has definitely no time to monitor the user
forums, so I assume.
If (as written here) they are not represented (aka their opinons not
brought to the attention of the board) how will the board know their
opinons and/or know who are active users, I mean active in areas, the
board does not see? Like local events, user support, writing local
translations, etc. ?
