Agreed.   I think the main difference between my view and Alan&#39;s view is that I think there should be some objective standards - one of which is that the Board member is not acting in the global public interest.   It is still up to the segment of the appointing community that appoints the director to make that call and justify their decision to the wider community.<br>
