I agree with Andy.
Well, if it is not a election pursuant to bylaws IV (3c) why it was always announced as such [1]. So it was de-facto a election. Wasn't it?
(imho) It is Ethically it is not okay to remove a "elected" member whiteout public discussion.

The Baylaws call them " Community-selected Trustees" - not elected (sec. 3c of art. IV) .
But - as I pointed out earlier - the language used in public-and community facing communications refers to "elections"; and - as I also pointed out - this should be changed to correct the false impression that is being given..
