<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Co-Chairs,<br></div><div><br></div>I just like to raise here that the reviewed process for individual board removal does not reflects the fact that we all recognize that once a board member is appointed to the board, he/she represents/acts in the interest of the entire community(and of the organisation). <br><br>It is just not ideal for appointing board member to remove its board member in a setup like ICANN, since we recognize that they are representing the entire community but just bringing their respective SO/AC experience to the board. Its also not proper considering that there are board members that are not directly appointed by individual SO/AC(nomcom appointees) which will imply different removal process for members within the same board.<br><br></div><div>That said, it is my hope that the community is recognizing that we are setting loose processes that does not keep the community itself accountable; we set air-tight processes and requirements to keep the board accountable yet we try to set rules that are less inclusive for ourselves.<br><br></div><div>Overall it seem its only what we think is right that is acceptable and not necessarily what the law says, because its definitely not a legal requirement that appointing members only should have the removal rights. Hopefully we will not all dwell so much on legal norms(on edge cases) as we set processes for board's accountability. <br><br></div><div>Regards<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 17, 2015 at 10:59 AM, Alice Jansen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alice.jansen@icann.org" target="_blank">alice.jansen@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
