Every single person who has an address should be added to the board.
Disband
Stay disbanded
Do not reform

Disband, start over. Just like US government needs to do.
I'm fine with looking at it that way. I can't say the Foundation is looking as if it's qualified to lead anything, as it clearly can't even manage itself.
Dream Team the organization that replaces the Foundation, if that is the way people, or individuals, would like to frame it.
Pretty much Tomato, Tomatoe, as far as I'm concerned. Who is most qualified, right now, to take a position of leadership for the bitcoin community.

Personally, I say disband the fucking thing. What has 'the foundation' actually done for the community? Oh, apart from lending credibility to its chairs, one of which has now been exposed as the biggest conman in legitimate Bitcoin history so far?
From their 'Why we need a foundation?' section:
BS BS BS.
Surely the foundation should be auditing the companys that have representatives on their board? If not for the simple reason that if the foundation that supposedly brings credibility to Bitcoin is then shown to contain conmen and liers, then the whole community is now tarnished because of this.
Every member is in it for the glory and nothing else.
If they disagree, then prove me wrong? Issues technical and financial audits of all company's represented. Make the data publicly available. Run consumer usage surveys. DO ANYTHING TO ADD CREDIBILITY TO THE FOUNDATION!
Just my 2 satoshis...

As the Bitcoin economy has evolved, we have all noticed barriers to its widespread adoption—botnets that attempt to undermine the network, hackers that threaten wallets, and an undeserved reputation stirred by ignorance and inaccurate reporting.
To us, it became clear that something had to be done. We see this foundation as critical for bringing legitimacy to the Bitcoin currency. Only then can we increase its adoption and positive impact on the world’s finance.

Karpeles is gone. we'll see how far down the legal sinkhole he goes, and just how dirty he is. Based on that joint statement put out by Coinbase, Circle, et al, I think Mark has been a bad, bad, boy, but that's another thread. At this rate the Foundation's logo should be a prison jumpsuit.
Anyhow, who sits in that empty chair (chairs if you count Charlies)? If we think the Foundation needs a bit of help selecting people that do not have their heads up their asses, maybe we can forward some suggestions.
So, let's hear yours. Give reasons why if you're so inclined. Obviously these folks may be too damn busy, but that doesn't mean we can't ask.
These can be serious or not so much. This is a serious question, but that doesn't mean I'm dumb enough to think we'll get all serious answers.
For me CEO of Overstock. He loves it, loves the idea of it, has an independent mindset and knows how the big machine runs. He'll be able to sniff out the bullshit, identify what checks and balances are missing, and bring some legitimacy to the table.
I'd love to see someone from the financial sector, although I can't think of any of them, at least in the private sector, that I'd trust for two seconds. In the public sector, it's not much different.
