I put forth this as an alternative to get us out of our current mess.
Proposal follows:
It is resolved that following be appended to the end of Article Seven of the
By-Laws of Software in the Public Interest, Inc.:
A director or officer may also be removed for any or no reason when
two-thirds of the contributing members support such an action under a vote
as established in article five. If the Secretary is the subject of the
vote, an independant inspector of election shall fulfill all duties normally
performed by the secretary under article five, for the purpose of this vote
only. The quorum for the vote shall be the same as for any other
contributing member vote.
