## Removal Of Members
Steering Committee members are expected to remain active in the community
throughout their term. If a Steering Committee member is inactive (no PR or
issue comments, no Slack communications, and no meeting attendance) for more
than 3 months, they may be removed by a simple majority vote of the remaining
active committee members. Steering Commmittee members may also be removed by
a majority vote of all committee members using the same process as [amendments
to this charter](#changes-to-the-charter).
Steering Committee members may choose to resign and be removed at any time by
notifying the project via an issue in this repository.
Replacement of a Steering Committee member is handled in the same way as other
Steering Committee [vacancies](#vacancies).
