This suggests that Greg Brockman wasn't in the board meeting that made the decision, and only "learned the news" that he was off the board the same way the rest of us did.

He was chairman of the board, no? surely he was in the meeting? More likely it's some kind of schism and he was on Sam's side.

Just guessing here, but I think the board can form a quorum without the chair, and vote, and as long as they have a majority, i think they can proceed with a press release based on their vote.

It varies by jurisdiction and board rules, but this is a common setup and a very reasonable guess.
