I became concerned that, from a governance perspective, the organization might be facing an almost existential crisis. I know you're very experienced in these matters and probably know more details than I do, but the spectre of what would happen to the organization, if all current sitting directors resigned, was—to use a polite word—murky. I became afraid, on one hand, that a precipitous act might be damaging to the long-term governance health of the organization. On the other hand, what had to be done was perfectly clear to any reasonable observer, I think.
That is why I advised the sitting directors not to renew their term or stand for re-election, but also not to simply, precipitously, all walk out the door.
