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

[Alan Greenberg]

I was asked to propose wording for the section of the Terms of 
Reference on Replacement and Removal of Members

I would like to propose the following wording for the consideration of the RT.

=======

If a Review Team member is no longer able or willing to serve, or if 
an SO/AC withdraws its endorsement of the member, the SO/AC making 
the original endorsement will be requested to refill the position 
with a replacement member. The SO/AC will make the selection 
according to their own processes and will not be bound to consider 
only those candidates who originally applied requesting their endorsement.

If a Review Team member is sufficiently inactive or disruptive as to 
cause at least 50% of Review Team members (excluding the member in 
question) to request their removal, the member will be asked to 
resign. If the member fails to resign, the SO/AC that endorsed the 
member will be requested to withdraw their endorsement and replace 
the member. Should the SO/AC not take action, the member can be 
removed by a 2/3 majority vote of the remaining Review Team members. 
In all cases, the balloting will be carried out in such a way as to 
not reveal how individual members voted.
