The Advisory Committee had Doug Smith's request for re-activation brought before us back on April 19th. The AC agreed that this is a unique case, and needed to be handled as such. So over the course of the last six-plus weeks, the AC has considered, discussed and debated the parameters which would need to be set in place in order to handle this fairly and wisely.
In keeping with the unique nature of this issue, the AC came up with a new category: Member Emeritus in perpetuum. The AC agreed to the following restrictions: Doug may not serve in the following positions: Advisory Committee member, Facilitator, treasurer, mentor or sponsor. These are permanent restrictions placed solely on Doug, not on the category of Member Emeritus. The category also mentions "in perpetuum" which simply and only means they are permanent restrictions placed on him, and cannot be removed while he remains a member. As for allowances, it was also discussed for some time whether any Yahoo group servers should be restricted, and the majority agreed Doug could subscribe to any he desires.
Any questions or concerns you have can be directed to Aaron Shirley, the AC's facilitator. You may also choose to email any individual on the AC - Sal Domino, Joel Freedman, Spike Glidden, Ken Morganti, Nick Pelletier, Mike Rich and Wes Shepard. To be fair and transparent, you should know the AC had considerable debate over these issues, which is why it has taken over six weeks. The AC took the time to do this in a way we feel is right, not just expedient. There are other issues which have been on hold. We look forward to tackling them in order to continue improving and refining to make this the best group it can be!
