[CCWG-ACCT] Recommendation 4 - power to remove Individual Board director - 1st reading conclusions

[Alan Greenberg]

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"?
