Ann: FDA Provides Clear Feedback for ODD Approval, page-323

The board will recommend what suits their own needs.
RA is a "long termer" but his is getting on in years.
MT, Sam, Robert, etc. Who knows? But for some corporate types who are in the game, their interest is about flipping things over and going onto the next big thing. They till get the 6 figure salary and bonuses, so are often less concered for the long term as us dear holders.
Sam has been around for 10 years and holds around 6m heads/options, so I imagine he we be as rusted on as we are, yet that is only one vote.
I think MT needs to be made aware that many of us are here for the long haul and do not want to be sold out early
