17		-I appreciate and support the OSI's mission, and would like to provide my skills and expertise in volunteer capacity. I think my background in both nonprofit law and technology law (particularly as it relates to open source license interpretation and enforcement) would enable me to add value to OSI's board.

I think my background in both nonprofit law and technology law (particularly as it relates to open source license interpretation and enforcement) would enable me to bring a unique dimension to OSI's board.

19		-I also see potential for the OSI to do more. For starters, I'd like to help OSI recruit more foundations and public charities outside of the open source/technology space for affiliate membership. The FLOSS foundation community is close-knit, but increasingly, organizations outside of our community are developing and/or using open source software to advance their charitable missions. We have an opportunity to encourage other public charities to join their ranks. I think OSI can serve as a connector between NPOs pursuing a range of charitable missions who may not otherwise interact, and provide a platform for sharing best practices about the use and development of FLOSS. Together, we can help charities reallocate the millions of dollars currently spent on proprietary software solutions towards program activities that well better our world.
	19	+I'm excited about OSI's potential to bring value to the public in new and exciting ways. For starters, I'd like to help OSI recruit more foundations and public charities outside of the open source/technology space for affiliate membership. The free and open source community is close-knit, but increasingly, organizations outside of our community are developing and/or using open source software to advance their charitable missions.

OSI can serve as a connector between NPOs pursuing a range of charitable missions who may not otherwise interact, and provide a platform for sharing best practices about the use and development of FLOSS. Together, we can help charities reallocate the millions of dollars currently spent on unwieldy proprietary software solutions towards program activities that better our world.

21		-I also would like to help the OSI to coordinate with existing diversity initiatives to broaden the pool of participants and contributors to FLOSS. The OSI can take a leadership role in promoting inclusivity in FLOSS, which will result in healthier, more robust communities.
