| - | ===== Agenda Item 4 ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | (Paul) Discussion Item only: Add the concept of a “Limited Member Review”. This is a membership review in all ways except that the straw poll only includes options for “no action” and “behavioral contract.” This option should be considered when members feel someone’s actions require house discussion but do not seek immediate eviction. Some house processes could also operate this way: e.g. if every member’s first automatic membership review for labor violations was a Limited Member Review, or perhaps if every automatic membership review was. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Potential corollary: Increase the threshold required for a house to decide a behavioral contract has been violated to 2/3rds, or 3/4ths, so that a Limited Member Review does not turn into a delayed eviction vote with a lower threshold. | + | |
