The board members must be napping if their average age is 68. Time for some fresh blood!

The non-executive directors should have challenged the lack of long-term strategic planning. That's their job, isn't it? They need to earn their keep.

I'm not so sure about the nomination committee operating for the benefit of the directors. Shouldn't they be looking out for the company's best interests?
