If we are to be asked to vote on a purchase of all or part of an ongoing publishing business, we need to see the details in advance in order to digest them, form questions for the meeting and consider how to vote.  Rubber stamping someone else’s recommendation is not a good practice exercising the duties of the office of a director.

If a proposed agreement has a significant price tag and has been rough drafted for discussion, that also will be helpful to review terms and conditions.  Our league has been down this road in the last decade or so with respect to contract approvals which did not turn out well because the devil was in the details not considered or identified. Let’s jog our institutional memory in that regard.  A few days to study the proposed transaction terms before a vote is necessary.  Anyone else agree or are we not expected to approve an agreement to proceed yet?
