Russ sez: We want to keep it simple. However, a recall is serious. At a minimum, we need to require that 2/3rd of the voters are present for the vote. If we say that at least 2/3rd of those present must vote for removal, then an 'abstain' is essentially a vote to keep the chair in office. I agree except that I'd like to not tie this to a physical (or teleconference) meeting - why not email in which case it can be 2/3 of the members other than the chair is required to zap the chair Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
