Refounding a region.

I just wanna make sure I'm doing this right before I go making permanent changes.
After some issues between members of the region, our founder has left Sondria and, having spoken to him, I believe the best thing is going to be to re-found the region. I am told that the process is that the region needs to empty of all its members, after which the region ceases to exist. Once that happens, the region can be re-founded and everybody can return. Is that the way it works? I didn't really find any articles that speak to this issue specifically, so I thought I'd ask directly.
Hope to hear back soon.

That would be correct. Could always have the founder kick everyone.

Can he still do that since he's left the region?

Yes. He still has access to the regional administration settings.

Thank you both, I certainly appreciate the help. If I have any further questions, may I send a TG?

Sure. Or post here. Either works.

Yes. He still has access to the regional administration settings.
Even when said founder had kicked and ejected himself?

Yes. Still has control. Could unban himself, although that isn't necessary to eject other people.

Yes. The founder still has executive powers.
And when a founder leaves a region, the Delegate automatically gains executive powers also.

Just wanted to clarify. Thank you.

Depending on how famous/notorious your region is, you may want to talk to some prominent R/D groups for advice on how to safely refound - or how to have the best chance of safely refounding. Texas provided great intel to my region when we refounded Monkey Island over 5 years ago. 10KI, I think, is also a solid reference there. You can ask me too, if you want, although my sole experience with refounding was over 5 years ago, so I'd expect the gameplay landscape has likely changed more than a little since then.

Thank you guys for the help. I got the whole thing sorted and the region has been safely refounded. I appreciate all the assistance, it sure made my life easier.
Hey, Mods, you can go ahead and lock this one now. Should be good for reference sake, I think.
Edit: For posterity's sake, what ended up happening is that I spoke with the original founder and he ejected everybody that didn't go to the fallback region. That same day, I waited until the region updated and the second it CTE'd, I created it as a new region. It only spent maybe five seconds CTE'd. The trick was just getting the timing right.
