I would like to propose that the TB adopt the following changes to the TB guidelines:

1: Add a recall provision to allow the membership at large the opportunity to remove TB members who have violated the TOS in such a manner as to earn a suspension of posting privledges for more than 7 days.

2: Remove the "gag order" provision so that TB members can solicit feedback from the general membership regarding issues that the TB currently is discussing. I am not proposing that this allow TB members to disclose how other TB members feel about an issue, only that single TB members can share their own viewpoints and solicit feedback.

With an election on the horizon, I would hope that the TB could act on these proposals and make the votes public. These two issues are very important and I would hope that the information would be valuable when members make their decisions at voting time.

Thank You.
