Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.

Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes, PDF line-break hyphens and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An institutional role with explicitly scoped time: snapshot, sourced interval, or unknown dates. No continuing appointment is implied.

Date. Start month from the proxy; the letters of 24 April 2026 are signed by him as Chair. Latest document inspected that states it: Alphabet's 2026 proxy statement; open interval, not a claim that the role continues.
