Phyllis and all,

(And this is NOT said in an argumentative tone) I have no intention of
laying down law for the project as a whole on this issue, I just want to
get a clear definition of what constitutes MNIGS and how it affects that
person beyond a particular state. I think every state should have it's OWN
rules for handling people who present a problem.

Agreed that these should just be guidelines and procedural rules that are
applied based on the situation--providing a course of action, but only where
it's deemed truly necessary. The upcoming elections have pointed out a
major problem with MNIGS and eligibility to represent the masses.

I also don't think this needs to be a drawn out ordeal, either. Let's
figure out what makes sense and move forward to ensure good volunteers are
not booted out at will and bad volunteers (if there could be such a thing)
are handled appropriately.
