I am going to take the controversial step and vote -1 here, in part
because I expect it will have no effect as Dave will still likely get
the votes needed, but to make a statement for the following reasons:

* The foundation board has struggled to be effective
* The board in general, and Dave and a few others in particular, are not
listening to, acting on, or proceeding quickly enough with the feedback
that has been provided to it by some members of the board
* Commitments made at one board meeting are not followed through at the
next meeting, or are further delayed for reasons I do not agree with
* It seems odd to me that the board votes for its own members. I believe
the board should be elected by a mix of the project team members and
foundation members, so if I have my choice, I would suggest that we
elect a new board through a more democratic process

I realize that this is not a popular thing to do, probably seems like it
is coming out of left field, and the easy thing would be to just vote
+1. I hope that it is clear that my reasons for voting -1 have less to
do with Dave than they have to do with how the board is running currently.

Regards,
-Dylan

I support Dylan's comments as delivered, in the spirit of constructive guidance.  At the same time, we don't have a backlog of other options.  And frequently, the right answer is to refactor an existing feature.

Voting is closed. With five votes in the affirmative, this vote passes.
