I believe so, nomcom appointees are somewhat selected by the entire
community and its board member removal process should be evident of that as
well.

Well I believe this should be fixed then.

Well this is the 3rd draft and if i recall correctly, the thresholds were
discussed in more detail in LOS(the breakout groups Cheryl coordinated) and
that was after the 2nd draft was up for public comment. In any case, I
apologize for raising this now(as its when i observed it) but I don't think
it matters whether we raised it during 2nd draft or not. The point is that
spilling the entire board is a Plutonic action and every part of the
community has to sign-up for it! It even somewhat goes against the concept
of appointing SO/AC removing its individual board (nevermind that I am
against that concept). As this simply means that if ALAC for instance
object to the board spill, then the board will still be spilled anyway,
including the board member appointed by ALAC.

So i thought but here is the section that makes me wonder whether CCWG was
referring to WS2
In *Work Stream 1*, include the review of Supporting Organization and
Advisory Committee
accountability mechanisms into the independent periodical structural
reviews performed on a
regular basis.

Well if there is no way then maybe ALAC should send some independent letter
to the board on this.
