</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps it wasn't clear in the template that this mechanism would have to be exercised under one of the different corporate governance models under consideration. So we were hoping to see some evaluation of the *how* this power could be exercised under the different models under consideration. I note in the template for "existing AC/SO structures" describes a designator structure in which the Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations form unincorporated associations and are provided with some of the powers at issue here. This specific community veto proposal could be one example of these designators exercising powers. And the legal memo says (without saying) that some kind of community veto proposal could be legally viable under a membership structure, the full/small board approach and possibly other structures - like described in the earlier template on existing AC/SO structures.</div><div><br></div><div>So I was hoping we could get the evaluation of this community veto proposal that the other proposals were given: *how* would we exercise a power like this under the structures in consideration? Would that be possible?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Robin</div><br><div><div>On Apr 11, 2015, at 5:07 AM, Gregory, Holly wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><p class="b3aeb2e0-12b4-4138-b2fd-948597cf5d1e" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; "></p><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Jordan, Here is the email that I sent last night .
