I would say that person able to talk with sysadmins/OWG etc would be enough.
Board really should not be selecting specific memory/CPU/OS for servers, it is 
kind of work that should be delegated rather than micromanaged by board.

Current approach is that OSMF board is not mapping (as part of official duties,
people on OSMF board can map and I personally would prefer ones that map).

As of now tagging discussions are explicitly out of scope, see
https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Mission_Statement#Scope_of_the_OSMF_board

Though ensuring that we have place where it can be discussed, good default editor
is ultimately responsibility of the board.
