I guess it all depends on exactly what is meant by "disparaging". I expect the actual agreement was rather more precise than the title.
The difference between disparagement and legitimate criticism would need to be defined, yes, and Mike will be working on a formula to try and provide a little more clarity. In the meantime, with or without a non-disparagement agreement, board members still have a fiduciary obligation to always act in the best interests of the organization.
