<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I guess paragraph 23 and 24 of REC2 is what probably created the confusion that the community could go directly to exercise community power to remove a/entire board member(s) without going through IRP by making it look like they are 2 path options to exercise the community power. It's good this was clarified and I expect it will be minor edit to remove paragraph 24 and update paragraph 23 not to reflect as option 1 because that is indeed the only path to take.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That said, as you indicated I believe the required threshold for IRP remains 3 and its only that of removal that will reduce to 3 in this context (Paragraph 51).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards</p>

So in the case of an EC challenge of a Board decision based on consensus GAC advice, the thresholds would remain at three for the IRP and dismissal of the Board and the GAC could not participate as a decision also participant for either?<br>
<br>
The only change is that the EC would be required to go to an IRP process first before moving to spill the Board?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the clarification.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Dear Malcolm,<br>
<br>
As I read it, and please, Bruce, correct me if I’m wrong, this only refers to whole Board removal power and not the rest of community powers so it would leave compromise language intact but clarifying the point in Rec 2 to this end.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
