Christophe writes "suggesting a Board member should resign and at the same time saying the process was properly followed, is not ok". I am not sure exactly what he means to convey by this, but I am not aware that anyone posting to this thread has said anything that can be described in this way.
In the unlikely event that he thinks this is what I myself was saying, I suggest he read my comment again (at least one other contributor has had no difficulty in understanding it). The point of it was that the process of managing Kelly's conflict of interest will deprive the Board of a source of advice which is undesirable when the Board already has two vacancies and no clearly expressed plans to fill them. It appears that he disagrees, which is, of course, OK.
If Christophe believes that any postings in this thread have expressed criticisms or concerns in a manner which he regards as improper, he should say clearly what he objects to and why he objects to it. Merely issuing general instructions to the generality of list members to treat the Board in general with greater respect is likely to prove counter-productive.
