Actually I'm less worried about Brian than about the over-presentation 
of existing corporate members and conflict of interests. Even though I 
believe that all community nominees working for a company already a 
corporate member, will be useful board members and will have a lot to 
contribute - I also recognize the conflict of interested and the true 
intend of the community balancing the corporate members is somewhat lost.

If I'd have run for a board seat, doing so as Eddy or StartCom would 
have been about the same thing, because I am Mr. StartCom undeniable. 
Hence I'm less concerned what Brian concerns. Needless to say that the 
current corporate board members are a different league than what Brian 
represents (if at all).
