CG,

As a former member of Talk Board, it was never set it up for 'recalls'.
TB has a mechanism in place to deal with any problems that may pop up. Also, as someone said on the other thread, if Randy wanted to release a member from the board, he can. He doesn't need a recall to do it.

As for the gag order...you're using the wrong term. Talkboard members discuss the issues among themselves. While not getting the general membership involved, many a hot issue manages to permeate it's way through the boards. And believe you me, members of TB are well aware of the issue(s).

Individual members can discuss the issues at hand. They are asked not to discuss publically what's being discussed privately on TB.

Back to your first issue; if you were to ask TalkBoard to consider a new rule, If TB members go on holiday, at Randy's request , that they be dismissed from the board, then this would be a valid topic for the TB to consider.
