米ＨＰ、漏洩問題で会長辞任
米ヒューレット・パッカード（ＨＰ）は22日、機密情報漏洩（ろうえい）問題の責任を取り、パトリシア・ダン会長が会長職と取締役を同日付で辞任し、マーク・ハード最高経営責任者（ＣＥＯ）が会長職を兼務したと発表した。
ＨＰ社はダン氏が来年1月に会長職だけを退き、ハード氏が後任となる人事を12日に発表したばかり。情報漏洩問題を調査する際に情報源を特定した方法について、米メディアから相次ぎ批判を受けるなど波紋が広がった。対応も後手に回り、わずか10日でトップ人事の変更を迫られた。

パトリシア・ダン会長が辞任
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Hewlett-Packard Co. shoved Chairwoman Patricia Dunn off its board（役員会） Friday, severing its ties to a leader whose efforts to plug a media leak morphed into a spying scandal that has spawned criminal and congressional investigations.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company will turn the chairmanship over to its chief executive（最高経営責任者＝ＣＥＯ）, Mark Hurd, who was supposed to take over that job in January as part of a (一環として）realignment（人事刷新） announced two weeks ago.
But things have changed since then amid a wave of leaked documents revealing how deeply HP's investigators intruded into the personal lives of seven directors, nine journalists, two employees and family members of those targeted individuals.
Dunn authorized the investigation and received regular updates, although she said she didn't realize HP's investigators were going to such extremes.
Two other HP employees who played pivotal（中心的な), roles in the scandal are also being let go, according to a person familiar with the matter. They are Kevin Hunsaker, HP's chief ethics officer, and Anthony Gentilucci, who manages HP's global investigations unit in Boston, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the terms of their departure were still being negotiated.
"Now that we know the depth of what has transpired, I take full accountability to drive the actions to set it right," Hurd said at a Friday news conference to announce Dunn's departure as well as review what the company has learned about its spying program.
Dunn had previously planned to remain an HP director after relinquishing the chairmanship（会長職） in January, but now she is leaving the board entirely.
"I continue to have the best interests of HP at heart and thus I have accepted the board's request to resign," Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn, 53, continued to defend her decision to initiate the probe to identify the boardroom leak and reiterated her intention to appear Thursday before a congressional panel looking into HP's spying spree.
Determined to protect confidential board discussions, Dunn hired investigators who impersonated board members, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records. The detectives also spied on an HP director and concocted an e-mail sting to dupe a reporter for CNet Networks Inc.'s News.com, an online technology site.
Hurd on Friday acknowledged authorizing the bogus（偽の), e-mail, but said he didn't recall approving the use of software to trace the reporter's computer. He also said he attended a meeting in March where he was briefed on the investigation, but said he did not read a written report that included the identity of the leaker and details of the detectives' tactics.
