Re: governance should probably come first - past models and next steps

Dear Ricardo, You articulated it well: One possible solution is to expand our membership to include participants in documentation and translation projects. If someone has worked on a gcc manual or translation for the linux documentation project, or for Guix, might they be welcome with us? I think they are both stakeholders and valuable people to their projects, and until we level the playing field for programmers in underrepresented groups, they might be a hope for diversity. This might have some difficult interplay with the concerns people have brought up about broadening. Was the main concern for infiltration? My initial intuition is that it would not be a big factor, and that we would be vigilant and figure it out. Maybe a board member could be immediately recalled if they do not advocate for the social contract and the code of conduct.
