a batch of internal communications after facing the prospect of disciplinary action for missing a deadline.
In addition to Mr. Pichai, the committee voted to summon Kent Walker, Google’s president of global affairs; Richard Gingras, its vice-president of news; and Sabrina Geremia, its vice-president and country manager for Canada.
