> 1) The EC guidelines direct the EC to verify eligibility with the
> nominee's SC and the EC did not do so.
> 2) That under Article 5, Section 9 of the bylaws, he is eligible
> as he has 12 continuous months of service and has not been
> declared a member-not-in-good standing.
> 3) That under the bylaws and Strugis the AB did not have the
> authority they assumed during the 2004 hearing.
> 4) The 2004 AB did not follow the AB Standard Operation
> Procedures for removal of an SC
>
> This issue is now open for discussion
