⚫ | First, the Board will consider any majority of "No" votes for a current Board Member. Majority is defined as > 50% of the casted Member votes. They will hold a vote of termination of that Board Member, with the FCFL Members cumulative vote being counted as a single vote with 40% of the total voting power of the Board. (currently, the math works so that just one Board Member would need to agree with the Members to terminate the Board Member in question). |
||
