That's not the board's job though, and misses the point of my email. I'm saying 
that we should be aspiring to be in the position where the subject matter 
experts we look to on the board in fields of law, finance, privacy, etc. are 
ALREADY "insiders" simply by reason of using Wikimedia projects before we ever 
start recruiting for them -- and not just at the very low standard of "What is 
Wikipedia" but somewhere more in-depth than that.
