The agenda from the OpenSolaris Governing Board meeting that took place today can be found on Genunix.org. Following Oracle's announcement of no longer releasing source-code until after the next Solaris update is released rather than its previous real-time changes when developed by Sun Microsystems, abandoning OpenSolaris, and Oracle shutting off its OpenSolaris tap of code changes last week, the board's decision today was inevitable.
During today's short and final OpenSolaris Governing Board meeting, the members all collectively resigned, which results in the OGB custody being handed back to Sun Microsystems / Oracle. Under the OpenSolaris governing charter, Sun / Oracle could appoint new board members until a special election can be had, but more than likely Oracle will put the final bullet into OpenSolaris right now.
