It should be stricken. |

Instead, a majority of council members can vote to impeach if warranted, |
12 |
and an election is immediately held. The impeached councilor is |
13 |
eligible to re-run. The impeached councilor still is in power until |
14 |
voted out. |

If some councilor is making a big difference in Gentoo, I don't want to |
17 |
see them booted simply because they couldn't make two meeting dates, and |
18 |
there is no reason they should have to appoint a sub (though they should |
19 |
of course be able to). Ditto for the whole mess where the council |
20 |
managed to miss-communicate a date and we had to hold another election. |

What value did that add? |

We're adults. Let's elect council members once per year, and have |
24 |
provisions for problems, but let's not micro-manage how often they must |
25 |
meet/etc. |

I'm not aware of any serious organization that has these kinds of rules |
28 |
for their board of directors... |
