I think the only public information we have from the Foundation is:

2022-03-11 Meeting

Discussed evidence that a board member Y was aware of X's felony 
conviction prior to C++Now 2021 where X was a speaker. Discussed that Y 
was also aware of the potential for scandal this could have. Concluded 
that Y’s failure to report this information to the Boost Foundation 
Board was a serious lapse in judgment that put the entire conference at 
risk. Considering Y was already transitioning out of their Boost and 
C++Now conference responsibilities, resolved to ask Y to accelerate that 
transition.

2022-03-11 Note
On 2022-03-11, Person Y resigned from the board and from his C++Now 
positions.

Best,
