Yes. These were handled before the board was elected and when we 
discussed official positions, these were not confirmed. Not being 
discussed, nor listed in any official place, I considered them not valid 
any more. I am sorry if I misunderstood this.

This said, Yann has continued to believe himself the porte parole of 
Foundation, in spite of discussion and private mention to him by Jimbo 
than he was no more. He still considers he is and acts as if he is.

Consequently, I suggest that this be rediscussed again between the 5 of 
us and that these positions are confirmed or infirmed.

Ihmo, if these positions are still valid, it is so secret that even 
board members are not aware of it :-)

My biggest point anyway would be that having an official position does 
not give the right to take a big decision on behalf of the Foundation. I 
do not feel that right myself.
