I have a concern and resultant question (directed
at any Directors who choose to reply) regarding
the phrase "A petition must be supported by a
fulsome and written rationale stating the reasons why removal is sought."
Let me create a scenario. Directors are chosen by
an SO or At-Large not because they will
"represent" the appointing body, but (among other
reasons) because there is a general belief that
the candidate espouses beliefs and standards
similar to those held by those who are selecting
the Board member. This is a VERY subjective
decision, and not one that is particularly provable.
If, as time unfolds, those involved with the
appointing body overwhelmingly come to feel that
the judgement was either incorrect, or more
pointedly, if it were to be made again, the
candidate would NOT be selected, would expressing
this satisfy the "fulsome rationale"?
