I'm writing a report (to the board) that will be making a summary of things
and making recommendations.
There are parts of this report that I will probably not post publicly - for
instance there are some matters that legititimately are such that I do want
to preserve attorney-client privilege.
But the bottom line is pretty simple - I have not seen any smoking guns, but
I have seen a signifcant lack of attention to the basics of running what
amounts to a small business, a failure of the board to properly oversee the
activities of management/staff, a mission that is expanding its scope faster
than a star going nova, and an institutional hubris that causes it to reject
anything that it does not want to hear.
Sorry for being somewhat incoherent - but I'm very jet lagged and my neuron
activity is being fueled mainly by sugar and caffine.
I'll have more later.
