Membership Discipline

One topic for discussion concerned the board practices/responsibilites with regards to member discipline, specifically the practices known as Personna Non-grata (PNG) and Banning and the lack of an appeals process. Some posted thoughts include:

Bill Fireside: hopes to see two committees set up (1) Disciplinary Hearings Committee and (2) Appeals Committee. I don't like to see the board having the power of police, judiciary and disciplinarian. As things stand right now, there is no hearing and no right of appeal.

Susan Gray: have certain 'responsibilities' that now lay entirely with the Board, being handled instead by committees consisting of both Board and non-Board members. Right now I am thinking of membership and disciplinary actions.
