Great news! 
I am a bit surprised to see IOHK and Emurgo employees join the Cardano Foundation board though. Doesn’t that introduce a conflict of interest? 
Let’s hope this situation get resolved as we want to focus more on Cardano development
If this would bring peace

Great question!
It does, but it all depends on the final structure and voting mechanism of the board. Ideally, you’d want majority board members to be independent assuming a simple majority rules decision mechanism for a wide array of issues.

Makes sense to be more involved for a bit after everything that happened. Good to monitor this from a community perspective too, although I have no reason to doubt any of the new members’ intentions. I’m actually very glad we’re seeing some positive movement here

glad you got this clarified. If he went on record saying this board isn’t permanent, I believe him. For the sake of expediency, it makes sense to have 3 people who know the ecosystem to make critical decisions to get CF up and running rather than wait for board members get up to speed.
Manmeet was such a good choice!
Europe is becoming the powerhouse of Blockchain technology and having strategic focus on this market in the Foundation is a very good direction.
