I think rich0 is spot-on here where if we make it even shorter, it gets
even stronger:
Section 4.9. Termination from Membership.
Membership may be terminated by a majority vote of the board of trustees.
No explanation required. Right now, it sounds like the trustees may need to
justify that the member is acting contrary to the purpose(s) of the
Foundation. When really, no justification should be required (it just opens
the door for endless argument, grumpiness, and thus more likely to lead to
legal action). At the very least, it should say that the trustees can
remove anyone *they feel* (ie. based on *their opinion*, which can't be
argued) is acting poorly. That removes the possibility of debate.
