It is worth noting that this is a very preliminary draft and not something the board is actively considering voting for at this time. Therefore, a detailed discussion of very minor word-smithing is probably going to be a waste of people's energy. (Feel free to do it, I am just saying that suggesting that a comma be moved, or that a provision be changed in some minor ways is probably not really the best approach right now.)
What is probably going to be more helpful is a broad discussion of principles and values.

Perhaps you could clarify what precisely was it that Florence Devouard and Kat Walsh voted against.
There was no vote. There was a draft non-disparagement agreement, which was not in any way ready for the board to sign, and which we've already had an extended discussion about on this list. Kat and Florence objected to some of its contents. We're now reviewing an attempt at a different approach, which at Florence's request merged that issue into a larger document summarizing the commitments and responsibilities of board members in a number of areas. What Florence has now shared is the first draft of that document. We're not at a stage of voting on or signing this either.
