I offer my signature to the recall petition. I am nomcom eligible.
At this point, I believe the recall process is the correct process to
follow unless there is an approved BCP update.
In a case where there's been no contact and there's an argument we've
found a gap in the procedures I can see the argument for creativity.
However, according to Bob's note, Marshall has been contacted and rather
than resigning, said he would consider resigning.
I hope he does.
Until he does, though, by considering resigning rather than resigning,
he has implied that there might be a reason not to resign.
In my mind that moves us out of a situation where creative
interpretations of vacancy are appropriate.
I think we're now in a position where there's a legitimate disagreement
between Marshall and some members of the community about whether
Marshall ought to be in his position.
I believe the recall process is the only existing tool we have for
resolving such a disagreement; I think permitting the IAOC to invent a
process for resolving such a disagreement without an approved BCP is
entirely inappropriate.
Again, I hope this can all be side stepped by a resignation.
