More on Eric Schmidt

From an open letter written by CNET’s Tom Krazit:

When Google announced plans to develop Android, a smartphone operating system that competes with Apple’s iPhone OS for consumer and developer attention, you said you would recuse yourself from any discussions about the iPhone during meetings of Apple’s board. You reiterated that stance in May after reports emerged that the Federal Trade Commission had raised an eyebrow at your presence on both boards, and when asked if you recuse yourself from any other topics at Apple meetings, you answered, “Not that I recall.”

So, do you now plan to recuse yourself from any board meetings in which Mac OS X development is discussed? You’re also not a member of the three main committees on Apple’s board: Audit and Finance, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance. Is the iPod the only product at Apple that you’re now qualified to oversee?
