Uhm.  Right now, I want to put in place a policy. That
policy can  
always change as the situation demands. Us does not require
a  
"board," which I see as needless bureaucracy.  And
I do not see the  
connection between paying to be listed--essentially paying
for OOo's  
webspace--and leaders.  Rather, I see that as any paying or
nonpaying  
member of that list is a member of this mail list and thus
has a  
voice, there is no need of a separate chamber of leaders
with authority.
