The page content/foundation/board/index.ezmd no longer appears in the website, because it is redirected to https://www.apache.org/foundation/leadership.

It's not clear whether this was intentional, as it has meant the loss of some explanatory content:

The [[]Board of Directors](../index.html#board-members) of The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is responsible for
management and oversight of the business and affairs of the corporation in
accordance with the [[]Bylaws](../bylaws.html). This includes managing corporate assets (funds, intellectual property, trademarks, and support
equipment), appointing a President and corporate officers to manage
the core operations of the ASF, and allocating corporate resources for the benefit of Apache projects.
Importantly, the ASF assigns [[]technical decision-making authority](../governance/#technical) for every
Apache project the project's independent Project Management Committee (PMC). Participants in each project provide its direction, not the board.
The [[]ASF membership](../members.html) elects to board annually.
Board meetings and minutes are published on the [[]board
calendar](calendar.html). Many other [[]public records](../records/) of our
corporation are publicly available. Information about Apache [[]corporate governance and
organization](../governance/) and [[]how board meetings work](meeting) are also available.

If the info was intentionally dropped, then the source page should be deleted.

The original page can be seen here: https://www-previous.staged.apache.org/foundation/board/

This was an intentional drop, but I have not decided what to do with source pages. Plus, there's an archivist notion to hold all historical content somewhere, JIC. Will leave open, as general reminder to figure out where to put old pages like this.

Many source pages have been dropped over the years (and indeed several others were dropped in the refresh).
They are all available from the source code repository, for example they are in the preview/previous branch.

It is confusing for maintainers if obsolete pages are left in the current source.

If a page is archived, it will most certainly be moved way away from its current position, into a clearly archival directory structure.

I would ask for patience while M&P figures this out.
