What Are The Responsibilities Of The Board Members?

In the Bitcoin Foundation’s own words, the role of the Board of Directors is three-fold [sic]:
1. The board should hire the leadership team, support the leadership team and, if necessary, fire the leadership team. 
 
2. The board should review goals and financials to ensure that the leadership team is performing in-line with the Foundation’s mission. 
 
3. The board should leverage their network and contacts to fundraise and make sure the organisation is properly resources and create opportunities for high-level strategic partnerships.

What Does The Bitcoin Foundation Do?

A few days ago at NewsBTC, we titled an article Bitcoin Foundation Changes Focus, Acts Like A Startup. All these elections, amendments to voting rules, re-alignments of strategic focus, just reiterate the fact that Bitcoin Foundation is indeed acting like a startup. Which is extremely good news. They’re changing for the better, some would argue.
The Bitcoin Foundation, as a non-profit organisation, provides for some funding of the development and infrastructure of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Foundation has been influential in representing and promoting Bitcoin — at the conferences and with the Governments. And at times also standing in as the punching bag for the criticisms that Bitcoin misusers attract to the entire Bitcoin community.
