Please let me know if you want to talk this through but in short Mark and Paul have asked me to join in an interim exec role.  The proposal is for 2 days a week.  There are a number of other moving parts to this but that is the top line.)

The concern is that for me to become an Executive Chair working in OKI, we would need to have a Board Resolution and potentially this would also triggers a change in the articles of association.

Then as an ordinary board member you are free as long as agreed and minuted by the board to take up a contracted role as interim role of OKI (title TBC if we don't like the interim CEO signalling which I agree isn't great).

I guess ideally it would be one of you as we have so many new members joining and it seems bit early/unfair to ask them.
