The CCWG was NOT silent. It said that the EC had the power and the GAC is
defined as part of the EC.<br><br>
That notwithstanding, if the removal power were granted solely to those
who vote for the selection of NomCom appointees, then the IETF would have
to be part of the decisional group that removes NomCom appointed
directors. Something that was never even raised.<br><br>

I am opposed to this decision on Q29 for several reasons:<br>
<ol>
<li>The GAC does not vote for NOMCOM directors, and should not have a
vote in their removal.
<li>It is inconsistent with how the CCWG draft treats individual SO/ACs
with respect to their appointed directors. The SO/ACs voting on NOMCOM
directors should have similar exclusive authority over their removal.
<li>The CCWG proposal is silent on this matter, we should not be
inserting new powers for the GAC into the bylaws when they are not
explicitly included in the CCWG draft.
</ol> <br>
I am also opposed procedurally.<br>
<br>
On the Board removal of directors discussion, we were told that even
though legally the EC had to approve the removals, that the CCWG draft
was silent of this, so we could not create a new power for the EC that
would infringe on Board powers in the current bylaws. Therefor the
approval had to be a rubber stamp. <br>
<br>
Here, the CCWG proposal is silent on whether the GAC should have a vote
on removing NOMCOM directors. The current bylaws specifically do not give
the GAC any vote on the approval or removal of NOMCOM directors. But we
are told that we must grant them such authority even though there is no
legal requirement for it as we know from the power of individual SO/AC to
remove their appointed directors.<br>
<br>
How are these two interpretations consistent? Either we add new powers
for the EC on Board decisions to remove directors or we do not add new
powers for the GAC on removing NOMCOM directors. <br>
