[RDS-WHOIS2-RT] Replacement and Removal of Members

[Alan Greenberg]

Stephanie, Volker, Lili and all,

I patterned this after rules I have seen 
elsewhere. I don't think it is possible to 
definitively define "disruptive", but presume if 
it was agreed to by a large majority in any 
specific case, that was sufficient.

I cannot really imagine that we would ever 
exercise such a clause, and am happy to remove it 
completely. In a simpler time when we were less 
focused on process, we would not even have 
written such a rule and just dealt with replacing 
(or removing!) someone as the situation arose.
