I believe there are two problems: missing visibility of the OGB and missing 
power of the community.

Another big problem is burocracy that makes it hard to contribute and that 
makes progress slow and this cannot be changed by the OGB.

As burocracy is a self serving and self fostering system, only someone from 
outside that has the needed power may change it.The only such person I am 
currently aware is Ian Murdock.
