Agreed on 1) and 2)

on 3) Can we put 75% in numbers? What is the rationale behind having a 
limit on Red Hat or non Red Hat seats? IMO, if its a elected position, 
whoever gets elected should be deemed fit to do the job regardless of 
their affiliation. Is Max Spevack, the Fedora Board lead or he is the 
Fedora lead within Red Hat. If its the former, should it be a elected 
position by Fedora contributors (as defined by rule 4)  or within the board?

4) CLA completion and being part of atleast one specific Fedora group 
like say Fedora Extras must be a requirement. Not everybody who has 
signed the CLA has provided any meaningful contributions and thus are 
not in the group of actual Fedora contributors. Having merely the CLA as 
a requirement might be abused.

5)Adopting the Fedora Extras voting infrastructure  seems a good 
solution. Is that a generic app or does it require changes?

6) Unclear on what a 2/3 majority vote by "community" means. Who is the 
community here? I believe 2/3 majority vote by just the board is enough 
to decide.
