What I meant is that it’s customary to write to the Board through the Secretary as opposed to write directly or through some other channel.

Writing to the board is not customary. When you do so, it is customary to do it through the secretary.

I was there when the SDET role was eliminated.

Our team of 8 SDE and 5 SDET became a team of 8 devs who also owned tons of QA frameworks. It was awful, except each tiny we deleted a test suite for not being valuable; that was awesome!

If the Azure org was flooded with senior engineers who did not have senior-level experience architecting production software... That explains a lot.
