<p class="MsoNormal">Work Party 1 dealt with the foundational work for all of the community powers. At no point has there been a qualification of a sub-set of the EC exercising decision rights on the removal of nomcom directors. It has always been intended
to be the full set.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This was discussed at length and reopening the question now, with a transparent intention of amending the proposal in a manner of reducing the influence of a stakeholder after the proposal has been agreed, is not something the CCWG should
adopt.<o:p></o:p></p>

not give the GAC any vote on the approval or removal of NOMCOM directors.
