"Partner" has different meanings. A partner in a partnership is as you describe. A partner is a large (often public) company like a bank is just a title for a high ranking employee. I think we are talking at cross purposes. If Matt is a partner in the context of a partnership, then you are correct, although I don't think the exact nature of his legal relationship with Omidyar is relevant. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
