Hi Dick,
To avoid exactly that in Europe and find a good solution; we have created a
governance with 3 boards;
- Board of Directors (small team)
- Advisory Board (Large companies as your corporate Board) with the council
mission
- Community Board (Representative in all European Countries)
Last Bylaw of OIDE updated on http://www.openideurope.eu/foundation/bylaws/
Cheers

I have two other items:
1) Marketing Report: I don't need any meeting time to discuss. I have
solicited proposals for a consultant to develop our CMP (Core
Messaging Platform).
2) Foundation Bylaws: number of directors and sustaining members
In past discussions, the board had decided that the size of the board
and the number of sustaining members would be determined by the
community board members. This does not look like what is in the
proposed bylaw changes. This would allow us to add additional
sustaining members as well as additional community seats to maintain
the ratio of community to sustaining member votes. This of course
would lead to a larger board size which has the benefit of additional
revenue and influence for the foundation, but challenges in running
board meetings.
As others have pointed out and I agree with, the board is already on
the large size for effective board meetings. In previous discussions
we concluded that more of the work would move to committees and that
the board would have more of an oversight role.
I would like to propose if the board grows to a larger size, that the
board elect an executive committee that would meet on a more regular
basis to execute Foundation initiatives that are not covered by other
board committees.
I think this clears the way for the Foundation to discuss PayPal
joining the board.
