Amiga board elects Frank Wilde as Chairman of the Board (update)
Update:
Carsten Schröder of Amiga Aktuell
explains in a special the following terms:
"First of all for clarification: in American companies the "chairman" is the head
of the "Board of Directors", some sort of administrative council which is elected
by the company shareholders and decides on the basic company politics as well
as announcing the "Executive Officers" who are responsible for daily business.
Thus the chairman has - at least formally - a higher influence as for example the
CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of a company."
