Question is, wherefore we actually need trustees and where
they should hail from?  See, I'm from Germany and I can't do
stuff like opening a bank account in the USA.  Also I have
some difficulties with US tax stuff, but that's something I
can learn.

My aim for being in this board was to have somebody present
from an area with a lot of Gentoo users.  Being present at
the fairs and conferences over here in Old Europe.  And I
wanted to improve the connections between the local
organisations in Europe and the Foundation.

I still think that we should have such a person in the board
of trustees.  Beside that we need some trustees who can
really manage this Foundation and finish all the
paper-stuff.

Regards, Lars
