- One comment posted 10-25-16 on google doc listed below:
“Per Sam LanFranco, Part 1) is a description of a reasonable and adequate evidence based process.
However, sub-items a. and c. in Part 2) are extremely problematic with regard to establishing expectations beyond very general terms of board conduct, especially with regard to specific SO/AC interests.
It is hard to conceive of anything other than either some endless list of specific expectations or a general expectation (similar to that of physicians) of “do no harm”. I suspect that the bulk of the work here should focus proper attention to 2) d. and common procedures. Over time that would result in something akin to “case law” in defining the boundaries of bad conduct on the part of Board members.”

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): I see the points raised on that 'cause' issue raised by Sam and see that just a modified 2C.can work becoming an a.
Yvette Guigneaux: Hand up from Alan & Cheryl
Thomas Rickert, CCWG Co-Chair: One test we have to pass is that we do not undo WS1 recommendations. Therefore the question of fairness, if at all, is not relevant as this is a requirement from WS1.
Julf Helsingius: I am confused - I assumed anyone could *suggest* a board member can be removed, but to actually remove a board member you still need a majority of the enpowered community?
Thomas Rickert, CCWG Co-Chair: The Board members know the rules of the game and they know they can be removed at any time for any reason.
Julf Helsingius: And yes, as a board member in a bunch of companies, I can be removed at any point if shareholders don't like me.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): exactly
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): stepping away from AC but have the audio channel open still
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): Where did the concept of 'secret action' come from???
Julf Helsingius: Ok, but that only applies to the director appointed by the AC/SO
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): still no chance of 'secret' though
Yvette Guigneaux: Aye aye aye
Yvette Guigneaux: lol
Alan Greenberg: To use my purple pants rationale, if in fact the person never wore pants that can be considered purple, then I would not be indemified...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): Just don't call Bernie 'late for dinner or drinks' Lori
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): flash back to CcNSO FOI Bernie nThx *shudder*
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): maybe 1 more before EOY "holiday /silly Season'
Alan Greenberg: 'M AT igf ALSO
Alan Greenberg: To translate that, "I'm at IGF also"
Lito Ibarra: Thank you all. Good discussion.
Julf Helsingius: Thanks, you too!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): good call thanks everyone... Talk more on the 14th.. Bye for now then...
