q. If the Maintainership Coalition feels that the TOB does not represent their
interests, they may raise a No-Confidence Motion by a qualified majority
vote. Votes for No-Confidence Motions must be announced publicly and will be
administered by the Executive Director using the procedure in Section 6 (j)
of this Charter. If a No-Confidence motion is passed, then the entire TOB is
immediately dissolved and an election is held to replace all of the TOB
seats.

r. The procedure for an election under Section 6 (q) of this Charter is
identical to that of Section 6 (g) of this Charter, 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 Section 6 (f) of this Charter.
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
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
within two (2) weeks before or after a TOB election nor within ninety (90)
days of a previous No-Confidence Motion (even if the previous motion was not
successfully passed).

## 7. OCI Values.

The TDC and TOB shall strive to reflect and adhere to the following values
