board members can only remove their own board members. To maintain current balances, we don’t allow GAC input on Nomcom appointments.

the CCWG did not explicitly address this, and then contend that the CCWG’s failure to address the GAC-Nomcom issue means that we have to invent some new arrangement. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
