              <div style="direction:ltr">Hi,</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div style="direction:ltr">There are those that have said
                on this list that there is no procedure to recall a
                sitting board member.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div style="direction:ltr">This is fundamentally
                inaccurate - there is. It requires the signatures of 5%
                of the membership base to call for it - and following
                that a vote by super majority.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div style="direction:ltr">If I recall there was a
                resolution proposed to make this easier - first by
                myself - it was voted down - and second proposed by the
                board in Mauritius - again it was voted down - so the
                procedure exists and is as difficult as it is because
                that is what this community wanted.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div style="direction:ltr">This community has a habit of
                voting against things based on who proposed them then
                coming and asking for them again later. I really wonder
                what will happen when a director finishes his term and
                refuses to hand back his legal membership - and as a
                result cannot be removed as a member of the company -
                and as a result no new directors can be appointed.
                 Since that is the status quo that this community voted
                for and legitimized in Mauritius when they voted against
                the need for a director to relinquish his status at the
                end of his term. </div>

              <div style="direction:ltr">Fascinating how this community

              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div style="direction:ltr">Just like it will be curious if
                that audit policy ever passes and audits are demanded of
                the authors - some of whom to this day only utilize 25%
                of their allocated space that they have sat on for close
