The Hewlett-Packard board won't resume their deliberations on what to do with Chairwoman Patricia Dunn until 6 p.m. The WSJ, citing "two people close to H-P," is reporting this afternoon that one holdup involves how to handle Thomas Perkins, who resigned from the board last spring to protest the company's unscrupulous - and possibly illegal - snooping into leaks. "He gets his prestige from sitting on corporate boards" and being an H-P board member was very important to him, one knowledgeable individual said. He apparently was surprised when the board accepted his resignation. The Journal story said it's unclear what the board will do with Dunn. This morning, the NYT reported that according to a "person with knowledge of some portions of yesterday’s board meeting," there was a strong chance thatDunn would have to step down. In other words, nobody knows.
