Well, I agree with what Addi/Gerhard said here...
I don't want to be on the board. I want to be able to vote on the DA board elections. I don't mind if I have a vote in other key decisions the board makes or not (I trust the board members that I would vote for). I am already quite involved with the community and consider myself an ambassador.
I think a lot of people are in the position that you are. They feel that they are doing a lot for Drupal, they want to be part of any decision making the general assembly does, they want to be more informed about the things that happen inside the Board o' Directors, but they don't want to sign up for 15+ hours of work in a month. Note that the expectation for Permanent Members is still 5 hours/month. I guess that we will find out in this round of applications/acceptances a bit more about where the line is drawn between "active participant who is respected in the community" and "oh yeah, you also get to vote." Also, I think Earl's recent email on this topic is quite informative - as he said "Permanent members 'get' voting privileges, but it's a job."
