The interesting part is:<p>Roger, Nick Mathewson, Meredith Hoban Dunn, Ian Goldberg, Julius Mittenzwei, Rabbi Rob Thomas, Wendy Seltzer are out of the board. Roger and Nick will stay as Tor's research leads.<p>The new board consists of Cindy Cohn (EFF), Bruce Schneier, Matt Blaze, Gabriella Colemn, Linus Nordberg. Two seats have yet to be filled.<p>EDIT<p>Just to avoid confusion: This comment was written before the submission link was changed from a NY Times article that buried the information about the changes in the last paragraph to the Tor Project blog post.
It's very unusual to have such a complete change of board membership, isn't it? I'm all for new blood, but I'd worry at the near-total loss of continuity.
Since Roger and Nick knew about the allegations and (in the opinion of some) turned a blind eye to them, Shari may have wanted to to articulate some sort of sea change.<p>But they probably <i>also</i> knew (from a look at their commit logs, it's pretty obvious) that the technical work could not continue without them. So it strikes me as a pragmatic compromise.
