I'm not all alleging anything at all.

I've simply described an hypothetical situation and reported an article 
I've recently read reporting the changes happening in the US market 
where having directors shared with multiple organisation with different 
interests seemed to be the norm.

There have been long, and still ongoing, discussions where different 
points of view have been shared and I've simply shared mine.

Being the president of a non profit association I know what rules I have 
to apply where I live but other countries might have slightly different 
rules.
