[CCWG-ACCT] Section 5B - community powers - consolidated draft

[Seun Ojedeji]

Thanks for the share Jordan. Could you kindly confirm if any of the
following is not correct:
- The community forum will allow for any member of SO/AC to participate and
not selected few
- That the SO/AC intending to remove its board member would not only use
the community forum as announcement formality but rather state convincing
rationale to the community
- That the community forum could serve as an opportunity to convince the
petitioning SO/AC to desist from(or encourage) proceeding with the removal
- That the community forum will be held in a most efficient manner; for
instance, it would make no economic sense to have multiple community forums
in a year as a result of varying times of petition from the SO/AC (although
I read that community forum will hold during the 3rd ICANN meeting but
sections as quoted below creates the confusion:

"Where such a  call  to  remove a  director  meets  the required  threshold
is  announced, within  fifteen days  a  meeting  of the  ICANN community
forum.... will be convened"

So how will this workout if a petition is made the February for instance,
considering 3rd ICANN meeting is around October.

Regards
