Thanks for explaining! I knew about this arrangement but didn't know the two boards work this way.
So, non-profit board members are being simply hired as employees and they don't have to have any connection with the company as long as they meet the bylaw criteria.
Altman himself praised this non profit overseer structure before. I wonder what does he think of it now 🫣
A point of clarification, board members aren't usually considered employees by virtue of their presence on the board. They are apart from the organization. They often have a dual role as some kind of executive in the company, though.
