I do not think that we need more rules. The rules in place worked perfectly fine.
obviously not :-(
I do not agree here. The Board did the job we elected it for and it did it according to the rules.
Board members are community members, the rules apply to them in the same way.
one can't be judge and part of the case, period.
I agree with this principle but I do not think it applies here. If the entire Board had broken the Code of Conduct or other rules, I agree that we could not expect the Board to judge itself. In that case, we already have the "20% of membership no-confidence vote" rule. If only one member of the Board misbehaves, he/she should be considered as any other member + the rules related to his/her status (inability to apply to the new election for example). There is no need for more or for another council or structure to judge the Board. Because in that case, what if that structure new misbehaves ? Who will judge it ? That's endless. What bothers me is that we are talking about making big changes when we already have effective rules. As a community it is simply up to us to know how to identify when and how they should be applied. I have the feeling that we are lacking discernment here and that we are ready to question our trust in the Board (as an entity, not only the current one) and some of our founding rules for, all things considered, an isolated case.
