HIP: 60
title: Removal of Justin Kalland of the Mission Board
author: Ludoviko.eth
status: Phase 2
created: 2022-06-25

Simple Summary
This HIP proposes to remove the Mission Board Member Justin Kalland of the Mission Board, in order to call for elections to a functioning and present mission board member.
Abstract
The current state of affairs requires an uneven set of Mission Board Members (MBM) in order to prevent the DAO stalling over a balanced 2 vs 2 scenario. The proposal is to remove the MBM Justin Kalland, which allow the DAO to call a new Election.
Motivation
Justin Kalland has done a great work advocating for the DAO. Unfortunately, he was unreachable for a long time over his social media accounts and personal messengers. This brings some critical decisions of the Mission Board to the risk of being stalled due to a tie. For example as of today, the interim rules of the Spanish Kleros-backed Group states that “a tie is sufficient to remove a mod” which is not an ideal situation given the current conformation of the Board.
A first draft of this HIP was posted in June 2022, and there was a commitment from Justin at the time to resume his activities, but unfortunately we haven’t heard of him since.
Specification
(Required for Phase 2)
The technical specification should describe the syntax and semantics of any new feature. The specification should be detailed enough to allow for it to be reasoned about by participants in the PoH DAO.
Rationale
(Recommended for Phase 2)
The rationale fleshes out the specification by describing what motivated the design and why particular design decisions were made. It should describe alternate designs that were considered and related work. The rationale may also provide evidence of consensus within the community, and should discuss important objections or concerns raised during discussion.
Implementation
(If necessary, recommended for Phase 3)
