Thanks for clarifying that, Robin.</div>

With regard to recalling board members, you write "I see this provision of a recall mechanism as being an entirely separate tool”. Are you sure this will be possible under Californian law, given the fact that you submit that „the board [should] still maintain
the requisite ultimate direction and control that is required by California corporations law”.</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It would seem that giving some structure the ability to recall the board, takes the ultimate direction and control away from the board.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Or would that have to be arranged through the bylaws and would then be covered by 5210:</span></div>
