There is a by-weekly call between various Red Hat (RHEL)
engineering/product managers and various Fedora resources within Red
Hat.  This call is to keep everybody up to speed on what's going on and
the thoughts of the two groups.  No actual decisions are made there,
information is gathered for other decision making meetings.

This is to say that having RHEL folks on the board is not necessary to
keep the RHEL product/engineering managers Consulted and Informed
