I agree with Gary that we should close the discussion on the suspension. Just for the record: I also feel like GM that RB did not cross the line of comradely behavior in this case and would urge Ajit to consider if he was not a bit too sensitive this time. I also agree with Fred that the agreement reached was indeed very strict. But let's leave that discussion behind. I propose that we draw the following conclusion: That suspension of list members should be done by majority vote in the AC. This seems to me to be an rather obvious development of the management of the list in light of the regrettable resignation of Fred and the possible resignation of Allin, so I will not present all the detailed arguments for that conclusion before anyone opposes it.
