New York (CNN Business) Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates are giving themselves a two-year trial period to see if they can co-parent the massive charitable foundation that they have treated as another one of their children. When the couple announced their divorce two months ago, they said they would both stay on as co-chairs of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. If that happens, Bill Gates would remain in control and, essentially, buy her out of the foundation, Suzman said. Melinda French Gates would receive "personal resources" from Gates for her own philanthropic work — resources that would be "completely separate from the foundation's endowment." Soon after, media reports emerged about Bill Gates' alleged improper behavior with Microsoft employees decades ago.
