    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    Personally, I am fine with the sitting nomcom doing it.  <br>
    <br>
    The reason I wrote it that way is that several people had stated in
    conversation that it could not be done by the same nomcom.  I
    therefore started with that premise, in fact it was that premsie
    which reminded me of the IETF example.<br>
    <br>
    As for why people argued it could not be the sitting nomcom, I will
    let them comment for themselves if they wish.  The possible reason
    that occurs to me is that it would not only disrupt their carefully
    scheduled work, but that it might cause a perspective change that
    could also be disruptive.  Also there might be a tendancy to review
    the recall petition in the light of available replacement
    candidates.  Having the sitting nomcom do it would require its
    members to be people who were good at compartmentalization. <br>

                <br>
                I do not think it affects the independence of Board
                members.  It is a Nomcom activity, composed of the same
                mix of members as the appointing Nomcom.  It is
                patterned on the IETF Nomcom Recall process in RFC 7437,
                a model that requires only 20 eligible qualified
                petitioners to initiate a Nomcom recall process.<br>
                <br>
                BTW: I would have no problem with requiring a higher
                threshold of SOAC to initiate, but figured that the 3
                SOAC requirements was already rather more strict than 20
                qualified IETF participants.<br>
                <br>
                But what is most important to remember is that is is a
                properly constituted nomcom that makes the decision and
                it needs to meet a high threshold.  So if a Nomcom
                process composed of AC/SO members can pick independent
                Directors, then they should be able to remove them.<br>
                <br>
                Now if you want to disagree with the antecedent of that
                last sentence you might find me in agreement (as I am
                still a fan of elected Directors as in ICANN 1.0), but
                given that we institutionally trust an ACSO constituted
                Nomcom to appoint independent Directors, an ACSO
                constituted Nomcom should be able to recall them.<br>

                        In order to remove an individual director(s)
                        appointed by the Nominating Committee, a Nomcom
                        recall process will be added to the Bylaws
                        section on Nomcom.  The recall process would be
                        initiated by a petition by 3 AC/SO, including at
                        least 1 SO and 1 AC. The petition must include a
                        description of the case for removal. The Recall
                        process would be chaired by an emeritus chair of
                        a previous Nominating Committee selected by the
                        ICANN Board. The Recall Committee will be made
                        up of appointees from the various AC/SO
                        according to the same formula used by the
                        Nominating Committee and will use the same
                        processes and procedures. The members of the
                        current nominating committee will not be
                        qualified for participation.  The single focus
                        of the Recall Committee will be to review the
                        case for removal presented by the petitioners
                        and decision on removal of of Board Member(s)
                        refered to in the AC/SO petition.  the Board
                        Members(s) under consideration for removal will
                        be givin an opportunity to respond to any issues
                        in the petition. Decision will be by 3/4 vote of
                        the Recall Committee. The Recall Committee will
                        be disbanded after completing its task.<br>
