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

[Jordan Carter]

Hi Bruce

The first public comment report and the current draft for the second report
are consistent in agreement with your proposal.

That is, they propose a common threshold of 75% of the decision body to
agree the removal of an individual director.

Interested in others' views about the point re GNSO?

cheers
Jordan
