Seriously, no. :)

I was hinting at something else, and you have interpreted me in a way 
that I did not intend. I guess I should make myself clearer in future. I 
was jokingly suggesting that I was not trying to steer the discussion 
away from irrelevant points (like the ownership of the domain and the 
fact that the OSMF board is elected). But really I was trying to get 
people to talk about OSMF community engagement. Sorry my hint was not 
very obvious.

The REAL reason I don't make that case is I don't believe its valid. But 
that is the best approach to demonstrating a mandate IMHO.

Anyway, enjoying a discussing doesn't necessarily imply I am trying to 
troll the list. Please assume good faith.
