Just a clarification here:

The board ratify policy only after consensus is reached not only
during the face 2 face meeting but also in online discussions.

To precisely answer your question/concern, the board ratify a
policy during its meeting, not only face to face one but also
during teleconferences. So no need to wait next meeting for
the board to meet to get a policy ratified if consensus is
reached.

We will be happy to have input from the community here, but if
we take in account the very low participation to policy discussions
online ... it may not be a good idea to only make decision based on
online discussions. People seems to be more open to speak at a meeting
than writing an e-mail.

Thanks.

Adiel.
