Summary: - The Board of the Rust Foundation intentionally let the contract for the current acting Executive Director (ED) of the Rust Foundation lapse. - It was intentional because it would have been easy to extend the contract but it was chosen not to. - The lack of ED gives Amazon a great deal of control as the Chair of the Rust Foundation. - There may be some underhanded or subjectively dirty things being done by Amazon administratively or PR-wise regarding Rust. - Because of the power imbalance created by the lack of ED, those actions are a cause for concern. - Regardless of how/why/who caused this, regardless of intent for administration, this situation should be fixed. Solution: The Board of the Rust Foundation needs to pick the damn ED and establish limits on membership affiliation like other projects.
