You're still overemphasizing the inner-board votings. What's far more
important is having a representative _inside_ of Novell. Believe it
or not, but Novell has by far more power on the technical direction
of openSUSE than your amd example. We (both Novell and openSUSE) 
want to change that for the future, but to go there, Novell has to
know pretty well what the community wants.

And _that_ is the thing the board was created for: an official part
of the community where representaives of Novell and the community are
grouped together as one bridge between these worlds.

So don't think of the board as a small parlament (as it's in many other
projects), think of it as rather as class representative.

Greetings, Stephan
