Russ raised the issue that 2/3 majority to remove an IAOC chair seems a bit
excessive, considering that this requires 6 votes out of 8, with the chair
being one of the 8. So the chair + 2 others could hold on to the chair
position.
Scott mentioned that removing a chair is serious, so we should make sure we
don't get into the "decision at a meeting with few people present" problem,
and talked about email voting.
Suggested change:
Old text (from section 4):
The Chair serves at the pleasure of the IAOC, and may be removed from
that position at any time by a two thirds vote of the voting
membership of the IAOC.
New text:
The Chair serves at the pleasure of the IAOC, and may be removed from
that position at any time by a vote of five of the IAOC voting members.
If people disagree with Russ, and think that we SHOULD require six votes,
that's easily accomplished:
The Chair serves at the pleasure of the IAOC, and may be removed from
that position at any time by a vote of six of the IAOC voting members.
I don't think that this is a show-stopper issue no matter what the
resolution is, but it's nice to have it nailed.
