Maybe it would start with a substantiated request endorsed by several regular list members, and then follow the same discussion-followed-by-committee-review process as approval. The decision to involuntarily deprecate a license would then finally be reviewed by the Board.

+1. I'd personally prefer to see a process for outright
decertification of licenses determined to be non-conformant to OSI's
license approval criteria, as opposed to mere deprecation, but the few
(I think) times I've brought this up over the years on this list there
didn't seem to be much appetite for that from anyone else.
