The response is not going to help because it does not address the main concern that people have. That Brendan, or someone who's beliefs are exposed making them a target of activists inside and outside the Mozilla community, is not suitable as CEO of Mozilla. The Board has already gone on the record as agreeing that Brendan had to go because he was targeted. Mitchell even sank the boot in claiming Brendan was not 'head of state' material.
Ms. Baker said: "Being the head of Mozilla is like being a head of state," adding, “Brendan had the technical vision. But he did not have the head of state part.” Mr. Hoffman said: "He was the right person for all of the technical growth, but the other things steered into him hard." “We agreed with Brendan that as long as he stayed in the chair, things wouldn’t end" "We agreed with him that he had to go as C.E.O., but we spent hours trying to argue with him out of leaving Mozilla.” The FAQ does not answer the question: Q. Is Brendan welcome to return as CEO? The answer seems obviously no. If not then the FAQ needs to answer the question: Q. Why is Brendan not welcome to return as CEO? The answer looks damming. People see this. If the Board no longer supported Brendan as CEO then he *was* pressured by Mozilla to resign. The FAQ also fails to address the conflict between people being free to speak (and ask the CEO to resign) versus people being requested to leave their non-mission related issues (wanting to exclude Brendan because they do not agree with him on the definition on marriage) at the door. The failure to enforce the participation guidelines sounds like a defense of those targeting Brendan. The FAQ notes that anyone can be a leader but fails to mention if anyone can be the CEO, an obvious omission.
