We're looking for a board of 5 (any more makes

Finding people to be on the board is easy, you just never asked.
I'm a total newcomer and have arrived in the middle of this rather
worrying thread. However, I've been around mailing lists to know these
things flare up occasionally and, for now, I'll give everyone the
benifit of the doubt (that is, this is the *end* of "one of those things").
I've attempted to read the archives but it's so full of confusing
messages that refer deeper and deeper into earlier activities here I'm
thoroughly confused.
However, if this really is the *end* of "one of those things" and
present an opportunity for improvement then it's possible I may be a
candidate for what I /think/ this board is for. We'll come to my
credentials later if its appropriate, for now please induldge me and any
other newsomers to this list.
So, trying to move forwards I have a few questions (and I've made them
deliberately general, please be as complete in your answers as you can)...
a) What is this board needed for?
b) What are the objectives of the structure the board will oversee?
c) What is expected of individual members of the board?
I'm pretty sure the answers to those will lead to more questions, but
lets start with just those three.
