<div>This is not a minor issue and thus the reason we are all waiting for our elected Board. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please note elected board, CEO needs to be protected at this moment. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If chair cannot comment then one o our other elected board should. That’s what accountability is about. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our organization must be protected above any individuals. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Deep down I hope these are just allegations. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe governance committee should comment. </div>
<div><br>

<div>But like others have mentioned we cannot wait. We need a clear way forward. </div>

<div>Allan is correct in responding. The CEO takes the lead on such issues. The Board can also respond. However I’d like to caution all of us not cast aspersions right now. This is a serious matter that impugns on the organization. The Board is a representation
of the community in the organization. They have a fiduciary responsibility to uphold the organization’s mandate and good name. </div>

<div>At this point there is a huge risk that needs to really be managed well.</div>

I still think at this stage until board pronounced itself. Even CEO should wait for board.<br>
