Two things:

I would not want the Board to be able to randomly replace members, as that would be a circus. Also, calling for a referendum on the B.o.D would be problematic... though calling for a forced election may be a reasonable option.

Perhaps something like this in the Directorship wording:

If a Director is found to have misrepresented the Board or the Foundation, or to have spoken or taken action against the Foundation or it's Mission, the Board may remove a standing Board member with a 2/3 majority vote. The positions of Directors removed in this way shall not be considered vacant for purposes of re-appointment, and will be ineligible for re-appointment by the Board. If at any point more than one Director is removed in this fashion during a single term, a new election cycle shall immediately be started.

This would allow the Board to prune itself if needed, but would prevent a small group from pruning everyone and appointing new people in.

More on forced elections in a later post...
