<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Owen,<br><br></div>In the interest of good governance and proper respect of process and structure, I believe that the ability to hire and fire the CEO should remain solely with the Board of Directors. Nevertheless, the Board could consider providing a separate guideline(outside of the bylaw) that enables members to express their dissatisfaction about a particular CEO's action.<br><br></div>Regards<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 6:00 AM, Owen DeLong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:owen@delong.com" target="_blank">owen@delong.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Should the CEO be exempt if he/she becomes sufficiently unpopular with the membership that they are able to recall him through this process?<div><br></div><div>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.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Owen</div></font></span><div><div class="h5"><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Nov 5, 2016, at 02:23 , Seun Ojedeji <<a href="mailto:seun.ojedeji@gmail.com" target="_blank">seun.ojedeji@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="m_2549715025403634461Apple-interchange-newline"><div><p dir="ltr">Hello Alan,</p><p dir="ltr">Thanks for sending this across, a few "personal" comments below:</p><p dir="ltr">1.

<br>
Here is the next round of suggestions for Bylaws changes.<br>
<br>
In cases where the previous proposal identified an issue but did not propose text, I am now proposing text. I am also proposing a few additional changes to address issues raised by others. Finally, I am proposing a change to address a problem with approving the annual financial statements.<br>
<br>
I intend to propose all these bylaws changes as special resolutions at the AFRINIC-25 SGMM, possibly with edits resulting from further review and discussion.<br>
