I just sent the following to the list, got a fist bump from volker who 
must have been telepathically connected since he was sending a longer 
version expressing reservations.  I understand James' point about 
needing procedures for removing disruptive members, but this needs to be 
seriously circumscribed, in my experience. They would have loved to 
remove me from the EWG.

cheers Steph

I do think that we should define "disruptive".  I have been a minority 
viewpoint on many committees here now, largely because I remind people 
of how data protection law is drafted, implemented and further defined 
in policy.  Given the contentious nature of the WHOIS debates, that has 
been a very lonely position, but since I appear to have been the only 
person with any actual experience in these matters on several of those 
committees, I am quite unrepentant. ICANN has a long history of ignoring 
the privacy perspective.  It would not be hard to find 50% of people who 
would like to get rid of me, just to speed things up and not be bothered 
with the facts/alternate view.  I think if we don't define "disruptive", 
we at least need to make it a larger majority of members, so I support 
Erika's suggestion of 70%.

I was just wondering the meaning that "the member fails to resign", would it be better to change it to "the member refuses to resign"?

If the member fails to resign, the SO/AC that endorsed the member will be requested to withdraw their endorsement and replace the member. Should the SO/AC not take action, the member can be removed by a 2/3 majority vote of the remaining Review Team members.
