PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Travis Kalanick is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Uber Technologies Incâs [UBER.UL] fractured board declared peace on Tuesday  attempting to put months of strife behind it by unanimously passing a series of measures to shore up corporate governance  bring in major investor SoftBank and diminish the power of former Chief Executive Travis Kalanick.
 Kalanick  described Tuesdayâs actions as âa major step forward in Uberâs journey to becoming a world class public company.â He added that the governance changes should serve Uber well under Dara Khosrowshahi  who is a month into the chief executive officer job since leaving the same post at Expedia Inc (EXPE.O).
Governance policies adopted by the board would make it difficult for  Kalanick  to return as CEO. He resigned in June under pressure from the Benchmark-led investor group over employee sexual harassment investigations  a trade-secrets misappropriation lawsuit by Waymo and efforts to interfere with government probes.
Uberâs board will expand from 11 directors  including a pair of  Kalanick  appointees seated on Monday  to 17 directors  the person and another source said.
 Kalanick  and other early shareholders also are sacrificing voting power  as Uber adopts a one vote per share policy  the sources said.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Papadopoulos is Negative . In an email   Papadopoulos  claimed that it was top members of Trumpâs campaign team that agreed to a pre-election meeting with representatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to a Bloomberg report  the email was disclosed in an FBI affidavit  supporting criminal charges against  Papadopoulos . It is not included in the court documents that detail his guilty plea and cooperation with Robert Muellerâs team.
The message  if true  would bolster claims that Trumpâs campaign attempted to collude with Russian interests. But itâs unclear whether  Papadopoulos   who pleaded guilty to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation  was merely boasting when  he  sent the July 14  2016  email to a Kremlin-linked contact. Thereâs also no indication such a meeting ever occurred.
Writing to the Russian contact a week before the Republican National Convention   Papadopoulos  proposed a meeting for August or September in the U.K. that would include âmy national chairman and maybe one other foreign policy adviserâ and members of Putinâs office and Russiaâs foreign ministry. âIt has been approved by our side â  Papadopoulos  wrote.
At the time of the email  Paul Manafort was the campaign chairman. It was reported earlier that Sam Clovis  Trumpâs current pick to lead the USDA  was  Papadopoulos â campaign supervisor  at that time  and that heâd been encouraging of his efforts to reach out to Russian officials.
 Papadopoulos  developed three separate contacts that  he  hoped would help dig up dirt on Hillary Clinton  and  he  kept people within the campaign in the loop.
The communications  by Skype  Facebook  text and email  show the electronic trail the government is following to verify how the campaign handled Russian contacts. One of those people  identified in court documents as Foreign Contact 2  is Ivan Timofeev  Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Tuesday. He works for the Moscow-based Russian International Affairs Council  a Kremlin-linked research group  and isnât a foreign ministry employee  despite  Papadopoulos âs assertion  she said.
Timofeev has so far refused to speak with anyone about the contacts he had with  Papadopoulos   except to say he felt  Papadopoulos  was an âenthusiast  with little experience.â
