Get to know your nominees

Not at all. However, in order to dissolve the board, one with the idea must first gain access to the board.

Doing my best to stay out of this, but this is one of the biggest misconceptions a few members have of the board. You do not need to be a board member to suggest changes you think will improve the site. Anyone can start a new thread, either in the feedback to board members forum, or to the entire forum. Be prepared to make a valid argument for your case.

Personally, I'm sure the site would manage without a board, but I have not seen where it has ever done any harm, and it has been an asset to me when I have had questions about moderating the site, and I know the board has been an asset to individual members when they wanted to voice an idea to a smaller group of people before doing so in front of the entire membership. The board does not approve caches, set caching rules or standards, tell anyone how or where they can cache.

Tat: Thanks for a perfect, spot on response.
