Correct, who have to guide/support the CEO, not staff.

If by 'his' you mean the candiate for board, then we are in agreement. If
by 'his' you mean  CEO, then I disagree this is not about CEO, he has
already been chose.


We are about to choose people who guide him, who evaluate him, who
counterbalance him to ensure the company remain strong and in health. So if
you pick a PhD in Advance BGP with 23.15 year experience in publishing
paper on micro-BGP array but have never run manage a budget, have never
create or try to put in action a strategy plan, have never build a team,
 how helpful is that to board? ceo? copany? community?

so let use this as opportunity to have conversation about skill and
experience that a board member must have (age don't matter Mr
Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Then nomcom must be able to evaluate candiate against
that critere and decline. Right now, bar is soooooooooooooo low, anyone can
apply and depending on the war going on between different faction, just win
and become bord member even if they are total unfit to be.
