You also said that you had no way to assess whether any of the board members were in a conflict of interest over a decision, yet they were self-reporting on that, from what I understand. At the start of the meeting, they'd say, “I have a conflict of interest in this project because my company is involved.” Then, they went on to recuse themselves from the discussion on that, or they just didn't vote.
There are two steps to that. What did you observe about that? Did they just leave the room entirely for the discussion? Did they stick around for the discussion, even to hear it, and then just not vote? I'm just curious as to what you saw in that regard when people admitted that they were in a conflict of interest. What did they do?
We've heard that, numerous times, different board members did different things. Some recused themselves, didn't take part in the discussion and didn't vote. Others might have stuck around for the discussion but didn't vote. Others took part in the discussion and then they voted. I'm just wondering if you saw a pattern there.
