Bruce Perens and the OSI board

OSI had performed a useful function up to this point.  There has been general deference to OSI
when it came to what constitutes an OSS licence, even when their decisions were somewhat
questionable.  Having said this, I have always been troubled by the lack of transparency and
democracy in OSI.  I have put up with this until now but increasingly find it untenable.

I wanted to approach OSI some years ago with an initiative I believe would have helped OSS but
was put off by the lack of democracy.  Instead I approached SPI but in hindsight the focus
there wasn't quite right for what I had in mind.  I will approach OSI with my initiative if
they actually become democratic.
