PDWG and may only be called up during difficult and stressful

with candidates and an election it a recipe to mess up the process
with all that is involved in a election. Further to that imagine
the possibility of someone economically powerful that is
dissatisfied with some of the decision of the Co-Chair to pay
people to subscribe to list, fake participation and vote for
certain people for a 'ordered' Recall Committee to remove those
'unwanted' Co-Chairs ?<br class=""></p></div></div></blockquote>It sounds like you are assuming an election to take place after the recall process is started.

Having the Board to nominate the Committee is good enough and
protects these rather difficult and critical situations from
unnecessary politicization and the PDWG from a easier take over. I
believe it is quiet fair to think that the Board has all the
necessary attributes to find and choose the right people to
compose a Recall Committee when it is needed. We have a great
example in the excellent and detailed work a previous Recall
Committee has done and those members were all chosen by the Board.
This shows the process worked well, fairly and in a balanced way
where the Board and Recall Committeed played its role in the
balance the PDWG has to have.</p></div></div></blockquote>I disagree… This is a place where we should not be allowing the bard to put their thumbs on the scale, let alone encouraging it.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Owen</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
