Stephanie, Volker, Lili and all,

I patterned this after rules I have seen elsewhere. I don't think it is possible to definitively define "disruptive", but presume if it was agreed to by a large majority in any specific case, that was sufficient.

I cannot really imagine that we would ever exercise such a clause, and am happy to remove it completely. In a simpler time when we were less focused on process, we would not even have written such a rule and just dealt with replacing (or removing!) someone as the situation arose.

I do think that we should define "disruptive".  I have been a minority viewpoint on many committees here now, largely because I remind people of how data protection law is drafted, implemented and further defined in policy.  Given the contentious nature of the WHOIS debates, that has been a very lonely position, but since I appear to have been the only person with any actual experience in these matters on several of those committees, I am quite unrepentant. ICANN has a long history of ignoring the privacy perspective.  It would not be hard to find 50% of people who would like to get rid of me, just to speed things up and not be bothered with the facts/alternate view.  I think if we don't define "disruptive", we at least need to make it a larger majority of members, so I support Erika's suggestion of 70%.

Dear Alan,
Thanks for sharing the proposed text.
I'm fine with the first paragraph. For the second paragraph, I believe
the disputing part will be how to define "disruptive", a 50%
team member's request for removal will be persuasive. I was just
wondering the meaning that "the member fails to resign", would
it be better to change it to "the member refuses to resign"?
For your and other team member's consideration.
Thanks and regards,
Lili

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

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.

Alan

=======

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.
