RE:RE:RE:proconMembership on a board is determined by the shareholders, but stacked to whomever the nominating committee of the board recommends. If the balance of the board where each member has one vote determines a change is in the companies best interest, board members may or may not be nominated at the next agm. And shareholders can always write in a nominee.
Procon's board seat is because the nominating committee has determined its in the shareholder's best interests for them to be there, and Procon's acceptance of that charge. And I for one respect that.
The older members on the board will remember the bias againts Germans, Japanese, Russians and now Chinese. This too will pass, but not before a pound of flesh is taken.
