[CCWG-ACCT] Board comments on Board removal in the context of GAC advice

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear All,
May we understand how 3/4 SO/AC could opppose to the Board's decision taken
on GAC CONSENSUS ADVICE without recoures to IRP ?
Under which course of action and what Community power ( which
Recommendation) that action could be taken
Regards
Kavouss
