q. If the Maintainership Coalition feels that the TOB does not represent their
469+
interests, they may raise a No-Confidence Motion by a qualified majority
470+
vote. Votes for No-Confidence Motions must be announced publicly and will be
471+
administered by the Executive Director using the procedure in Section 6 (j)
472+
of this Charter. If a No-Confidence motion is passed, then the entire TOB is
473+
immediately dissolved and an election is held to replace all of the TOB
474+
seats.

r. The procedure for an election under Section 6 (q) of this Charter is

identical to that of Section 6 (g) of this Charter, except that the four (4)

member group of the TOB will only hold their seat for one (1) year in order

The four (4) member group will be chosen as being the least-favoured choices
