The criteria are related to proper behavior as a Board member, but every Board member is specifically empowered to vote his or her own conscience on each and every resolution. Further, we make a point of offering each Board member the opportunity to insert into the record a statement accompanying his or vote if he or she is dissenting or abstaining. (The option is also there if the member is concurring, but that’s hardly ever an issue.)<div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 10, 2015, at 10:16 AM, Avri Doria <<a href="mailto:avri@acm.org">avri@acm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

hi,<br>
<br>
I think that is a good idea.<br>

I see one as a vote of no-confidence while I see the other as a
mainly a vehicle for non or ill performance.<br>

<div>This is exactly wrong. Board members are obligated
to do what’s best for the entire community, not just
their particular consistency. They bring the
perspective of their constituency as part of their
background and knowledge, but they are not supposed to
be the representative of their constituency in the
sense of a congress or parliament.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You might argue we should change the role of the
Board or create a different body, but the idea that
specific Board members are responsible the outcome
relevant to their body is contrary to the actual
obligation currently in force.</div>
