So, should we be looking for an ED with the expectation that he or she will
manage an organization with 250+ employees, or should we look for someone
who has experience with spinoffs and/or breakups?
There has been a small amount of discussion of a vaguely-defined,
hypothetical split, which has involved only a handful of people. The
idea has not been tested with the wider community, much less developed
as a formal proposal. That's not a good basis on which to appoint an
ED.
