I was mistaken. The guy was removed from GAB because he didn't attend any of the meetings, wasn't doing his duties. He was wasting a seat that someone else could add value too. The guy should of been honest upfront that he didn't have time for the GAB.
So now we get two versions of the truth from two different people. Who's to be believed? More importantly, what achievements have the GAB lined up to squash these rumors once and for all?
