I don't think we are far apart, but I do see a thin red line.

To be clear, I would NOT expect a community initiated Board removal (whether an individual or the whole Board) to go forward unless those proposing it made a case for it.

But that's not what I'm hearing.

I'm hearing that the Board want to limit the remove of Board members to "for cause".

Which is a WHOLE different ball of wax.

Hello Nigel,

  But vitiating the community empowered model of removing board members for any reason or none is likely to not help gain acceptance.

Just to be clear - the Board has no objection to the community power regarding removing Board members.

We have suggested though that the rationales be clear, and suggested that they could reference the roles and responsibilities of a Board member.   That is not intended to limit the reasons for removal, but at least to establish some shared expectations.    I don't see any inconsistency between the Board's position and the CCWG in that regard.
