I'm not really sure what you want to say here. I already mentioned
that the email was to the board.
And I  just ran wc on the email. 736 bytes making 128 words and 23
lines, (of which 7 were empty)
Not really what I consider long.And there were 3 more board members
that got the email (5 or 6 days before the FOSDEM meeting).

That tells a lot about the care taken by the board in important
matters like this. :-(

Anyway, I'm not complaining that I am not invited for the interim TSC.
I really don't care. I have indicated I am available and if it was
decided not to accept this offer, fine with me.
However I do oppose to the suggestion that outside the current TSC
people did not want to be involved (as was suggested on IRC by Koen).

Best regards, Frans.
