q. If the Maintainership Coalition feels that the TOB does not represent their
466+
interests, they may raise a No-Confidence Motion by a qualified majority
467+
vote. Votes for No-Confidence Motions must be announced publicly and will be
468+
administered by the Executive Director using the procedure in paragraph (j)
469+
of this Section. If a No-Confidence motion is passed, then the entire TOB is
470+
immediately dissolved and an election is held to replace all of the TOB
471+
seats.

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

identical to that of paragraph (g), except that the four (4) member group of

the TOB will only hold their seat for one (1) year in order to maintain the

staggered terms outlined in paragraph (f) of this Section. The four (4)

member group will be chosen as being the least-favoured choices in the

election who cleared the threshold for election. In the case of any

ambiguity (such as a tie for 5th place), a random selection process (such as
480+
a fair coin toss) shall be used to select which member-elect will be part of

the four (4) member group.

s. In order to avoid abuse of No-Confidence Motions, they cannot be announced
484+
within two (2) weeks before or after a TOB election nor within ninety (90)
485+
days of a previous No-Confidence Motion (even if the previous motion was not
