D’Angelo had to have voted in favor because otherwise they don’t get a four vote majority.

You only need 4 votes to have a majority if Sam and Greg were present for the vote, which neither were. Ilya + the 2 stooges voting in favor and D'Angelo voting against would be a 3-1 majority.

Is their corporate charter public? I couldn't find it on their website.

I am not an expert, but I don't think that is the way it works. My guess is that the only reason that they could vote without Sam and Greg there is because they had a majority even if they were there. That means they had 4 votes, and that means all other board members voted against Sam and Greg.
It does not seem reasonable that only some members of a board could get together and vote things without others present. This would be chaos.
>I could not find anything in the way of a source on when, or under what circumstances, Tasha McCauley joined the Board.
I would add, "or why she's on the board or why anyone thought she was qualified to be on the board".
At least with Helen Toner the intent was likely just to add a token AI Safety academic to pacify "concerned" Congressmen.
I am kind of curious how Adam D'Angelo voted. If he voted against removing Sam that would make this even more of a farce.
