Al Sweigart and Ari Lacenski resigned from the Board of Directors prior to this meeting.
Both were contributors to the cabal repository and advocates for the governance changes:
Their resignations came just days after the community rejected the governance changes and less than two weeks after the changes were reverted.

The meeting debated three approaches to address the governance crisis:
Resolution: "There should be an election and the board should appoint new people in the interim."
A decision was made that the "2014 BoD election V2 should conclude in 90 days," though details needed to be worked out.
The resignations occurred at a critical juncture in the controversy:
The April 8, 2014 meeting represents the effective end of the Cabal controversy. The resignation of two board members who had championed the governance changes, combined with acknowledgment that the election itself was flawed, vindicated the community's response.
The Noisebridge community had successfully defended its consensus-based governance model against an attempt to replace it with a more hierarchical structure.
