Basics
<p>An annually self-appointed board of no more than 5 members determines policies and implements them.</p>
Participants

<p>The board may choose to remove a community member if more than half of board members vote for removal.</p>
<p>Each year current board members elect the board members for the subsequent year.</p>
<p>Board members can serve an unlimited number of 1-year terms.</p>
Policy
<p>The board is expected to operate according to this Rule and the explicit agreements it has created.</p>
<p>More than half of board members must vote to approve a proposal in order for it to become a community agreement.</p>
<p>Board members or their designees are responsible for implementing agreements, and the board should have access to the means to implement the agreements that it has approved.</p>
<p>Community participants unhappy with the board’s implementation with the agreements may voice their concerns to individual board members or in the community at large.</p>
Evolution
<p>Changes to this Rule require 2/3 approval of the board.</p>
