You have to also read about the bias concerns that led to the letter from Africa for another angle on this matter. I agree but presented with these trade offs, am not risking this power to the board, mind you am also speaking because I have been on the board when these discussions concerning a certain PSF fellow were happening.
Without saying too much about private discussions, I will say am not hypothesizing about this bias, I am also basing my decisions from the experiences being part of those discussions on the same board…
