Just in case anyone might misunderstand the following as suggesting a conflict between Anthere and myself, I agree with her completely on all points. :)

I strongly believe the CEO should not be on the board. It seems to make sense in small organisations, but I would say it is not suitable in our case.
Doubly when the CEO is not only on the board, but also the chair of that board.
And triply (if that term exist) when the CEO not only is the chair of the board, but also the foundator of the leading project.
It raises the issue of
- suitability of the CEO (not chosen per his executive abilities in the
first place) 2) availability of the CEO for day to day tasks 3) performance assessment of the CEO (since he is giving tasks to himself and assessing his performance himself) 4) Relevance of the board existence
