This includes the clause about the hereditary presidency of the foundation, but Papadimitriou is undaunted. "I don't think Ms. Roussel is automatically eligible for the presidency," he says. "The clause needs interpretation. It speaks about capacity and willingness to serve. And its implementation is subject to the discretion of the board." Another senior board member says: "I can't envision myself, or for that matter any other board member, reporting...
