In another context, someone from Apple who was familiar with those contributions might be free to discuss them, but they would generally be expected to not identify their affiliation with Apple to avoid unduly influencing other people or creating a real or perceived conflict of interest. Someone who was looking for more information about this would find the investor relations page, corporate governance section, and the Business Conduct Policy documents informative, which are all publicly documented here: http://www.apple.com/investor/ http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=107357&p=irol-govHighlights http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9NTQ1NTF8Q2hpbGRJRD0tMXxUeXBlPTM=&t=1 (PDF warning) Regards, -- -Chuck
