The original discussion arose as a result of Danny's resignation and
intention to run. He is one of two former employees of the Foundation
who have any notable role in the community (the other being Brad, for
those looking blank, and Danny has much higher profile than him). It's
being heavily pushed by Gerard. who has very strong opinions on
Danny's fitness to run, and has indicated on multiple occasions that
he feels his candidature was somehow wrong.

I understand that there *are* broader aspects to this, but I don't
think we can disassociate them entirely from the specific case... and
hard cases always make bad law.
