[CCWG-ACCT] Removal of an individual Board director by an SO or ALAC

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello Bruce,

I agree with such default threshold across appointing entities, however in
addition to that even if SOs/ALAC achieve that 75% (as an example) to
remove their board member(s) i think there should still be the need for
community approval beyond the entity removing its members.

This would seem to me to be putting the intent of CMSM in proper action.

Regards
