I think your email will strengthen calls for a review. I'm troubled that the decision was rushed through, over the holidays with James in Japan, because two board members who supported his removal were leaving. The removal has caused a loss of trust in the board. Does this idea of a "knowledge engine" have anything to do with it; was James denied access to documents; and so on. People are completely perplexed at this point. How do we fix this?
