[Osmf-talk] OSMF Articles of Association - Discussion on Revision for 2013 AGM

[Simon Poole]

I think this would boil down to the membership electing such an
independent  body at a AGM, probably only when such an appeal has been
received.

> The proposal related to ceasing to be a member to allow the board to expel individuals is certainly something the board should be able to do but I would advise that any recommendations to expel are done by an independent body set up to investigate such issues and make recommendations to the board.  The most extreme being expulsion.   I don't think that an AGM would be a fair place for an appeal to be held.  It would be a serious matter requiring careful consideration of all the facts and is not something that can be done in fairly at a general AGM.
