Executive Director

So what Executive Director would need to be is a mentor helping out when there is trouble between the bros and sisters of the Foundation.

This would be one role, but not a substantial part of the activity of the ED in my mind. I see them more often in an outwards facing role, as the ambassador of OSGeo. But also providing mundane support to the various committees to ensure that things are getting done that need to be. Drafting policies, web materials, etc.
