Hi Dolce! Firstly, welcome back to the board and I'm very happy to hear you are healthy. I wasn't aware that you were unwell (or Riverbrae for that matter) but glad to hear your both on the mend and wishing you continued good health. Whilst we may disagree on some things, I value your opinion and welcome the viewpoint you provide.
Your two posts were very well put together and thought out. This vote should be interesting and I can see arguments that are valid for each board member to stay or go.
I do agree with your stability sentiment, however, I cannot get my head around supporting Sickman. His association with DIASource would have me constantly questioning motivations and I simply think we can do better. This is just my opinion.
For those who question Matt's qualifications, I've had similar thoughts. I don't have any answers for this, but I will say Rolf's qualifications before chairing the Board of DIASource were in real estate, private equity and investment processes. I'm not sure how that qualifies him any more so than Matt, but that's for others to decide for themselves I suppose. I'll personally be voting to keep Matt in place to see what he can bring to the table. It's an interesting choice and a bit of a 'Captains Call' imho, but it doesn't mean it's a bad call. Time will tell.
Studly is a bit of a mystery for me. I think he has played a tough role that no one else was prepared to play and will take some heat as a result. That said, some of the staff moves that have taken place may see our OPEX spend level reduced and keep us in business a bit longer to focus on key areas of potential revenue and commercialization desperately needed. He brings a wealth of experience at the highest levels in multiple industries to include medical and technology. As you say, this is a gent who understands the need for governance. I'm not prepared to say goodbye to him just yet.
That's about all I have at the moment. Wishing all SH's the best.
All IMHO, FWIW, DYOR, MSDB, blah blah blah....
