[Noisebridge-discuss] proposals concerning banning

[Gregory Dillon]

The community meeting approach has promise.   I'm concerned with the
current  systems' unfairness when the stay away part of the procedure -
which is good for  defusing a problem -  creates insurmountable impediments
to bring witnesses necessary for a fair listening.  Especially because,
people don't have every members contact information, and if one can't go to
the space, it is become nearly impossible to find the witness necessary for
a fair hearing.

The difficult is intensified if one person faithfully adheres to the
request to stay away and the other person does not.

A community meeting based approach would hopefully allow the situation to
be "frozen" in a designed safe fashion, and except in exceptional
circumstances, allow the parties to the conflict the chance to find the
witnesses to the "big" event.

This is important stuff.  Thanks.
