I fully agree with @dnando on this (and have expressed that with the appropriate likes).
I like to add to it though (not discuss the ideas) by saying the following:
The setup of the language advisory board has to be done by merit and competence and not by “Being an LAS member gets one a vote on the Language advisory board regardless”.
My justification for this is:
Being an LAS member expresses exactly one thing: that someone has an interest in Lucee that makes it a good commercial investment for them to pay the membership fees associated with it.
What it certainly does NOT express is that a member of LAS or their employees have any skill or qualification whatsoever to make language design decisions. There might be an overlap and that MIGHT well be the case, but paying a membership fee should NOT be the criteria to be involved with LuceeLang design work.
