The foundation works for its board members. We can hope that the board members will work for Rust, but the structure of the board does nothing to check their power and influence.
On the other hand, I do recognize that the board members are the ones bringing the funding to the table; maybe this was the best way to maximize their contributions. If the board's interests align well with the Rust community's interests, then this could turn out fine, at least at first.
