[Community-Discuss] Bylaws changes

[Owen DeLong]

Should the CEO be exempt if he/she becomes sufficiently unpopular with the membership that they are able to recall him through this process?

No disrespect to the current CEO intended (and I can’t imagine such a petition succeeding against him anyway), but I see no reason the position should be exempt from such a challenge.
