<p>Boss, it's the process - and it's been written that way for years
in plain sight. <br>

It might be beneficial to the working group if you or any others
could offer alternative interpretations of those sentences so we
can look at them together now rather than waste energy litigating
(Assuming it becomes clear who will be suing who :-P). I believe
the process to appeal the contents of the PDP is proposing new
policy text and convincing the group that the text should be
changed.</div>

<br>
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>
