I'm not entirely sure what you mean by management.  If you mean the
governing bodies of Fedora, I can assure you that FESCo _did_ ask to be
informed and we told they could not be.  I know this because I was the
one that asked.

Whether all of the Fedora Board (the only group higher than FESCo) has
been informed or not, I have no idea.
