[atlarge-discuss] RE: [Panel] Votes missed - and what steps do we take now...

["Abel Wisman" <abel@able-towers.com>]

In light of the discussion on the general list and the answer received
from Michael Sherril I would like to know all your opinions on his
statement:

<quote michael>
The Panel does not have power to replace panel members at will.  They
have power to oust a panel member for specific reasons, one of them
being for non-participation in panel business.

To a certain extent panel members have the right to govern themselves.
There is a long precedent regarding this procedure including the United
States Legislature, city councils, planning commissions, school boards,
and the like. 
Their internal laws are quite specific regarding censure, removal from
office, and appointing a leader.  It is not 
unreasonable to allow our own Panel the ability to do so, as well.

Now my opinion is at first sight that this is againt my democratic
schooling and principles, and that IF we allow ourselves this "power" we
better be darned sure that we are able to defend such a decision.
However I do feel that this is the best and least "messy" solution to
our problem, after all we already agreed on rules of no participation,
rules that can be further defined should we wish, and there is a clear
measuring stick to which we can hold such a decision as panel.

Please let me know what you feel about this.

Kind regards

Abel
