Who were on OpenAI's board?

"OpenAI is governed by the board of the OpenAI Nonprofit, comprised of OpenAI Global, LLC employees Greg Brockman (Chairman & President), Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist), and Sam Altman (CEO), and non-employees Adam D’Angelo, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner." [1]

Which is notable because Sam Altman is on said board, so he got outvoted.

That board meeting will be in a movie someday I'm pretty sure.

Only if it was contentious. From the strength of the press release, it sounds like it was a unanimous forced-hand decision.

>>unsupp+bn
Since both Sam and Greg are gone, that implies a 4-2 decision, which is as far from unanimous decision as a 6-person board could possibly make.

>>Peteri+NA
Given that personnel matters affecting an individual on the board often have mandatory recusal of the affected party, that's likely a 4-0 or two 4-1 decisions, depending on how they were structured.

>>dragon+tD
A single 4-0 decision would imply the bylaws allow any group of members to oust all the other members by making a single proposal to oust everyone but their group, thus automatically forcing everyone else to recuse themselves :p

>>Gabrie+Pa1
Yes, this can happen, though generally the ousting party would also need to be able to point to some policy or legal transgression to do it without putting themselves at risk of a lawsuit.
