"high level goals is a very broad term", so it may well cover what I'm 
thinking...  Most of this discussion and detail is about the mechanics 
of putting out a release.  I think another major objective of the board 
is less about release production and more about community. Such as 
broading adoption, making things approachable for growing communities.  
I know you guys do spend a lot of time on that, so I think its useful to 
have some mention in the charter responsibilities of the board that 
there a lot of outreach involved.
