Vacancies and Removal

3.7 Vacancies:

Any vacancy occurring on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors though less than a quorum of the Board. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and must meet the same requirements of the position, as if the nominee were running for election.

3.8 Removal:

At a meeting of member groups called expressly for that purpose, or a ballot procedure established expressly for that purpose, one or more members of the Board (including the entire Board) may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of the Designated Representatives of an absolute majority of the member groups then entitled to vote on election of Directors.
