To me, an ideal Board would work by creating consensus for an initiative among the people who are needed to do any work to make the idea a reality... that portion of the Board's work would be better done in non-Board-oriented FADs. Laying out at a high level what the Board wants to see accomplished might be one thing that could happen at a FAD. But is that any better accomplished in person than via email/phone/IRC? If we're exploring an idea in depth, I can see that being the case.. but perhaps we should decide that we need to meet in person on those on a case-by-case basis just like any other FAD? Once again, I'm new here, so I don't know whether the Board would benefit from a recurring in-person meeting, I just don't have a clear idea of what we'd want to achieve by meeting. -Toshio
