However, in the absense of bylaws to back up such a critical decision, I
would ask that the Panel strongly consider making Jeff's expulsion
temporary, pending approval by the membership of rules supporting the
decision, i.e.: let's not ask them to vote on "should Jeff Williams be
expelled." Rather, let's vote on "The following offenses are grounds for
expulsion from ICANNATLARGE.ORG:", and delineate what those offenses are,
and give the membership a chance to vote on them!
BTW, this is how I see us getting our bylaws written: instead of trying to
write a complete document at once, let's zero in on one or two pertinent and
timely subjects, discuss the heck out of them, have the Panel develop and
approve by vote a draft policy based on said discussion, then get the
membership's vote on it. As I've said before, I envision quarterly
membership votes, at least until we get passed our organizing challenges!
I too see things as Bruce expresses them here with regard to the process
of writing our bylaws, zeroing "in on one or two pertinent and timely
subjects, discuss the heck out of them, have the Panel develop and approve
by vote a draft policy based on said discussion, then get the membership's
vote on it."
I do not think there are any among us, even our brightest bulbs (except
perhaps for those actively involved with it daily), who want to face
"eating and digesting" more than a couple draft sections at a time. That
approach, attempting to swallow the whole, is the surest way to
intellectual indigestion and disinterest. ;-)
