<p>The interpretation of this "The Committee therefore determines
that a recall of both the co-Chairs is justifiable in the<br>
circumstances, and that both the co-Chairs be recalled with
immediate effect." I understand the statement "...the co-chairs <b>be</b>
recalled" as awaiting further action statement, but if the
statement is "...the co-chairs<b> are</b> recalled" this could be
a definitive statement.</p>
<p>However, natives or experts of English Language can advise
better, alternatively we can hear from Legal Counsel the
interpretations.</p>

<div>The <b>emphasis </b>in there is mine. It might be
beneficial to the working group if you or any others could
offer alternative interpretations of those sentences so we

Yes, as far as I understand, the Recall Committee's
decision is final.<br>
Article 3.5(3) of the CPM gives the Recall Committee
the power to<br>
"determine the outcome", not merely to suggest or
report to some other<br>
party. The Board also stated "The Recall Committee
will report the<br>
outcome to the Policy Development Working Group. The
decision of the<br>
Recall Committee is final." (That is in a document
from the Board<br>
that might not have been published, but is referenced
from page 3 of<br>
the Recall Committee's Working Procedure document.)<br>
<br>
The Recall Committee gave their decision in paragraph
19 of the "Final<br>
Determination" document: "19. The Committee therefore
determines that<br>
a recall of both the co-Chairs is justifiable in the
circumstances,<br>
and that both the co-Chairs be recalled with immediate
effect.".<br>
<br>

<br>
Yes, the last sentence of paragraph 20 of the Recall
Committee's<br>
report is a suggestion; it is not binding: "The
Committee suggests<br>
that the Board coordinate with the PDWG to find an
adequate transition<br>
mechanism until the next election."<br>
