Thanks Jordan, for forwarding these valuable inputs. I’m going through the Memos and I just stumbled on an issue where I’m not sure whether the Memo reflects or not the Board proposal. On page 4 of the “Memorandum” it is said that the community power on budget, strategic and operating plan is “not subject to binding arbitration under the Board proposal” – but on page 61 of the Board Matrix it is affirmed that “In the event the Board fails to abide by these processes, or the community believes that the Board has taken a decision in these areas that is inconsistent with the Mission and Core Values, the MEM will provide binding arbitration over that issue. In addition, the community will have the ability to remove individual Board Directors or recall the Board.” Am I missing something? And, this leads me to a more general question: at the beginning of the Memo it is stated that Jones Day was consulted in order to avoid misunderstandings – did they reply and confirm that there were none?
