I think most of the principles (particularly under "we value") could be similarly viewed.
Perhaps, but that's not enough to form a base for punitive action, IMHO.
I don't entirely disagree. However, they are (and should be) enough to support punitive action if it is taken - which of course is different than what you've said above.
I see two ways out - we rephrase or amend the guiding principles and include something like: "As a member, you explicitly agree to ..."
Or we empower the board to act as umpire with arbitrary powers.
I don't mind either one, but I do appreciate that not everyone might see option #2 as very attractive.
I'm happy with #2 so long as it's understood that that's the case. I do have a fundamental problem with electing a board that isn't trusted. Personally, I trust the board, so I'm fine with it myself. Indeed, that's why I've not had a lot to say about the actions taken, because I believe the board is there to do what's in the best interests of the project, and I trust them to do that.
