>Mr. Kalanick is also dealing with the death of his mother, Bonnie Kalanick, last month, in a boating accident that also left his father seriously injured. The board meeting on Sunday is being held in Los Angeles because in the weeks since his mother’s death, Mr. Kalanick has been spending time with family there, where he grew up.

Completely independent of what's going on at Uber, I sympathize with Kalanick and his family. It's very hard to balance family tragedies with entrepreneurship.
