 - that it would be helpful to generate some community norms for Board members. Let's refer to this as Option 1 for now.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 was looking for beyond the procedural &quot;rules&quot; of Board membership, and removal processes by the community would be guided by such norms (since, presumably, they would be embedded in the community's views of what it needed from the Board - not for procedural
 reasons).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 against which a Board removal decision might be objectively judged (i.e. creating criteria for removal). That was rebutted at the time - the CCWG never agreed to that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
