A director need not be a voting member of the foundation.  From the
OSGeo Bylaws:

"Section 3.3. Qualification. Directors may only be adult natural persons
but need not be residents of Delaware or of the United States nor
members of the corporation. Each director shall demonstrate his or her
willingness to accept responsibility for governance and his or her
availability to participate actively in governance activities. Directors
shall be selected to bring a variety of interests and expertise to the
corporation."
