Individual participants of the [=Advisory Board=] or the [=Technical Architecture Group=]

The [=AB=] or [=TAG=] <em class=rfc2119>must</em> hold a hearing
1336+
on the potential [=removal=] of a participant
1337+
if requested by at least three of the participants in the group.
1338+
After giving the individual in question
1339+
an opportunity to defend themselves,
1340+
a vote on the proposed [=removal=] is held.
1341+
If at least three quarters of the participants in the group,

excluding the individual who is the subject of such vote,
1343+
then vote in favor of the proposal,

the individual's seat on [=AB=] or [=TAG=] is [=vacated=] immediately.
1345+
The group must notify the [=AC=] of such a [=removal=] within one week.
