You repeatedly intervened at Board meetings with comments that the things the rest of the Board were discussing or deciding were in breach of the rules or the law. When asked to provide evidence to support your assertions, you never produced any, and when asked to propose alternative actions, you never did. Your actions seriously delayed the Board from taking necessary actions on behalf of the Foundation as they sought a consensus you repeatedly blocked. The Board at that time sought advice and found it had the discretion to take all the actions against which you were warning. The negative framing should have stopped then. Instead, despite leaving both the Board and the Foundation, you have continued to snipe from the sidelines at every opportunity, always critical and never building on the contributions of others. Again, I recommend you withdraw. Sincerely, Simon -- *Simon Phipps* *TDF Trustee*
