The best way to address this issue is to clarify roles and responsibilities of the board, as well as its fiduciary duties. We should appoint one or two board memebers to be the point of contact for answering questions, so that somebody will always stay on top. If s/he can't answer a question, s/he will make sure the question is directed to the right person and get answered. S/he can also help compile and update a list of FAQs. I wouldn't think the board size is at the core of the problem, but how the board structure is set up. Just my two cents.
