Its difference between the old model would be that: Members are chosen by the majority and each seat is on a temporary basis; not self appointed.
This foundation rarely engages with this this community, nor do they listen to use. Else mister Gox wouldn't be on the board any more.
If you read
https://bitcoinfoundation.org/about/governance, you would know that the members of the foundations are not self appointed, they are elected. And that their tenure lasts 2 years. The current one finishes this July.
Mister Gox for example was elected. You just have to not vote for him when his seat is open again. If people were removed from office each time they displeased somebody, then nobody would ever hold a seat more than a day. Gox fucked up, and I will not vote for him again. But I see no problem of him finishing his term, especially since it is soon.
I have not seen the foundation being overly friendly with gox eighter: with all the malleability incident, they have been pretty clear that it is gox that fucked up, even if gox's boss is on the board.
