<p>A lot better. Less generous with the euphemisms* and actually
relating the facts.</p>

be de-coded as "we've run out of money, and because of that we are
terminating 50% of you and giving C-levels a 50% raise".<br>

<div>None of the above. Would this have been better?</div>

We discussed our ongoing investigation
to examine possible future modifications to Dorothea's
contract; with an eye to retaining her valuable services,
while minimizing overhead costs. We decided to continue that
work, but recognized it would take more than a few weeks.
Meanwhile the current contract was due to expire, so we
decided to extend that for the time being.</div>

<p>It is not quite clear from this if the attempt to
regularize Dorotheas employment situation has fizzled out,
been given up, or been dropped because of the general OSM
philosophies (which are all new to me).</p>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Sometimes the Board has a closed portion during the
monthly meeting. As well as explaining in advance why
we plan them, we want to publicly report on them as
well. By nature, we can't go into much detail.

<div>During the last meeting, this is what we decided
during the closed portion [1].</div>

<div>We decided to extend Dorothea's contract, which was
due to expire soon, and to examine possible future
modifications to her contract with an eye to retaining
Dorothea's valuable services while minimizing overhead
costs, in keeping with the general OSM philosophies of
fairness, economy, and cost containment. <br>
