That requires MITRE be transparent to begin with. That isn't "another 
side 
of the coin" really. If they are transparent, they bring it the board, 
and 
we do our 'advisory role' collectively. Your wording implies that board 
failed somehow, when we weren't given any of that information until I 
brought it up, to the pain and headache of MITRE. I forced their hand, 
after giving them almost three weeks to bring it up despite my "two 
day" 
deadline. If that isn't a real picture into how MITRE operates, and how 
they see the value of the board? Not sure what is.
