Yes, it would be nice to allow members to vote on lots of things, but the PBS governance model appears to be patterned on that of Cuba. The Board essentially elects its own members from a list of candidates they select via an arbitrary, capricious, and completely opaque process, much like the Politburo. We were recently (inadvertently) given a glimpse into the inner workings and attitudes at the Mother Ship and it wasn't a pretty picture. Nor surprisingly, many excellent people have better things to do than try to improve things in the face of resistance, secrecy, and outright abuse. Is it any wonder that volunteers are hard to find in this environment?
It's time to send a few of the Commissars off the the Gulag and start over. Just my opinion, but feel free to make it your own.

I agree with Ottoline. I miss the daily emails. You read what you’re interested in and move on. It would have been nice to have the membership vote on whether they wanted a forum. I’m not a big fan of the forum and the format for many reasons. I also work full time, and am busy, and do not have time to visit the forum throughout the day.
