[CCWG-ACCT] Update on Board discussions on the CCWG Update

[Nigel Roberts]

I don't think we are far apart, but I do see a thin red line.

To be clear, I would NOT expect a community initiated Board removal 
(whether an individual or the whole Board) to go forward unless those 
proposing it made a case for it.

But that's not what I'm hearing.

I'm hearing that the Board want to limit the remove of Board members to 
"for cause".

Which is a WHOLE different ball of wax.

That is not intended to limit the reasons for removal, but at least to establish some shared expectations.    I don't see any inconsistency between the Board's position and the CCWG in that regard.
