My comments are based on several factors, and the laws related to how US 
entities are run not the least of them. Suffice to say that large financial
contributors will be less than impressed with public debates about board 
disagreements. It just sends the wrong message
and can be misinterpreted by casual observers. These types of 
disagreements and debate are very healthy, but a public forum is
the wrong place to air them.
