Wow, I thought he was just going to step away and take a break. Do we know who might replace him?

It's also interesting that the five shareholders mentioned in the NYTimes article want 2 "truly independent directors". What does that mean? Depending on how many board seats there are, maybe two votes aren't enough?

Is there an issue if it's a woman?

Is Marissa Meyer the only woman y'all know?

[akras14]

I have no issues with women being CEOs. I do have an issue when people get selected for political reasons, i.e. to keep the mob happy.
