Proposal for Reworking the Recall Procedure Initation.

[avri doria <avri@sm.luth.se>]

A proposal for changing the requirements for initiating the
recall of an IAB or IESG member was discussed in Atlanta.

The following language represents the content of that proposal.

The recommend change would be to section 7.1

--
1. At any time, IETF participants qualified to be Nomcom members
according to the rules defined in 4.15, may request, by signed
petition, the recall of any sitting IAB or IESG member. The
petition must signed by a number of participants equal to 2% of
the average attendance of the last 3 IETF meetings and must
include a statement of justification for the recall.  The
petition must be made public and must be submitted to the
Internet Society President.

The minutes from the meeting, which have been sent to me, but
which I have not had time to post process yet, contain some
discussion on this proposal.  While the sense of the room seemed
to favor the change to a petition, there was no agreement of the
number of individuals required for such a petition, i.e. a 1%
threshold was recommended as well as a fixed number.  Also there
was a discussion of whether the number should be based on the
average attendance at the last 3 meetings or on the then current
number of Qualified nomcom volunteers (by rule 4.15).

If you have opinions on this issue, please discuss them on the list.
I will try to determine the WG rough consensus on 16 Dec 02.

thanks
a.
