[TriLUG] Code of Conduct

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Point of order.  Only the steering committee has the authority to vote. 
  Not being a snob or whatever just pointing out what this says: 
http://trilug.org/articlesofincorporation

Unless this is proposed as an amendment to the charter or he charter is 
amended to allow direct voting.

On the record: I'm not for formal adoption (but will probably abstain) 
and favor continued informal handling of anything "out there" and if the 
membership feels we ever do a bad enough job at that the charter gives 
them a way to deal with that as well.

I just generally think we're all grown ups here (and the young Master 
Frye is capable of acting like one from what I've seen) and so I don't 
think we need to develop a body of constitutional law to replace good 
judgment and an informal system of reminders.  Just more aggressive 
action when things get out of hand.
