Bias by the PSF Board against marginalized groups is not an abstract hypothetical. It’s a concrete reality (that proposal 3 would, with certainty, make worse).
See PyCon Africa’s “An Open Letter to the Python Software Foundation” as a troubling example: An Open Letter to the Python Software Foundation
Most likely this comment will also get flagged (by specific individuals I am not at liberty to name). We’ll see.
Let me revise this somewhat. Our current board has a majority of people from the Global South or otherwise marginalized groups. That is encouraging and an extremely positive thing. As long as people who are demographically similar to me do not again have a majority, I have the utmost faith in the Board.
As far as I’ve seen, the entire support of this amendment comes from people who look and speak a whole lot like me. People like me should not be trusted.
