[Halprin] didn't deny that, in a social rather than contractual sense, he was considered for a seat on the board because of the grant negotiations; in fact, he basically said that he and/or Omidyar Network expressed interest in a seat on the board because of the grant negotiations, and as you show, that's pretty typical of the way that Omidyar Network interacts with non-profits.
He said that? Where has Halprin or anyone with knowledge of the appointment said that Halprin was considered because of the grant negotiations? Where has anyone even acknowledged that there were grant "negotiations"? What was being negotiated? What were the other offers?
