The issue of Brexit is indeed a pressing one. Much to my surprise,
the opportunity to lengthen the current transitionary phase was
not seized, despite there being excellent reasons to do so, even
without any loss of face (quite unlike the many embarrassing
delays of the formal Brexit itself).

I would be in favor of moving the foundation to an EU member state
where the independence of the judiciary branch is not in doubt
(I'm not saying there's a problem with that in the UK, but this
requirement does rule out e.g. Poland). This can be done with
relative ease between EU member states. I believe moving a legal
person from the UK to an EU member state is still equally
hassle-free, but that may change on January 1st. If true (someone
would need to check this), we'd have to hurry to make it in time,
which is why I'm getting ahead of myself and suggesting a possible
course of action that may not even be supported by the majority.
If we really don't have any time to lose, we must act quickly. So
sorry about that...
<br>
<br>
And of course I second the request for more clarity on the board's
position on this matter.
