not really. In fact membership officials give an advice on the
candidacy, but the board is not at all obliged to follow it. I beg
that most of the time rejected candidacy are not looked really, but
accepted one are for sure.

It's pretty difficult to have a result, there, because we are not a
sufficient number. IMHO, this situation can only be emergency
solution, and all the board members should be allowed to vote for
candidacy.

but the advice is given on the number and interest of contributions,
not on whisdom of candidate...

in fact the only guiding principle part that could allow resigning
membership is that one:

"We don't tolerate social discrimination and aim at creating an
environment where people feel accepted and safe from offense"

In fact I don't think the board made a bad decision, I simply notice
this was not done in the best way (the board members themselve didn't
probably ever had to cope with such situtation :-) and we have to
prevent this to be done twice.

deeling with such problems is very difficult, I have already seen
groups nearly killed by such conflict. The only (the better) solution
is openness and transparency. I don't forget openSUSE is only 5 years
old, not yet the reasoning age :-)).
