I'd like to add to John Klensin's suggestion's and propose that recall 
function as follows:

	1) the committee is formed at the ombudsman's call rather
	   than be a standing committee

	2) the internal deliberations of the recall committee are confidential

	3) the recall committee posts a "call for information" so people
	   can submit comments

	4) if the person survives the recall motion, there is a six-month
	   moritorium for that person.  (with a 90-day ombudsman period,
	   probably 90 days for the recall process to work, plus the six-month
	   moritorium, with the exception of pathological cases the
	   member could expect no more than one recall per term ... and
	   hopefully significantly less.)

Let's try and avoid a temptation to fully specify all situations.  It
might be more productive to have a simple mechanism to add procedures
as needed (e.g., the IESG and IAB can jointly agree to a change in
procedures ... if you don't like the changes, you can hope that a new
IAB/IESG at the next selection period will handle it differently.)
