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

[Alan Greenberg]

I will leave the discussion of removal until the 
meeting, since this seems to be an issue of 
general dispute in a variety of ways.

On reappointing, under the previous rules in the 
AoC, it was the CEO and Chair of the GAC who made 
the original selections (from among those 
endorsed by the AC/SOs and applicants as experts. 
The AoC was silent on replacements But if a 
replacement was needed, it was done by the AC/SO 
that originally had endorsed the person that is 
leaving. Under the new Bylaws, it is the Chairs 
of the AC?SO that make the selections and I am 
proposing that we do not change the method of replacement.

There is no precedent from the SSR, the only 
other review being conducted after the Bylaws, 
since the ToR is MUCH expanded from the version 
that they used. As such, it is up to us to make a 
recommendation and the Board can accept or reject 
it. I support a minimalist approach.
