Tom,
Let's see if I can address this better.
Everything you said does make sense, but does not answer my concern.
Please allow me to rephrase so I may approach the issue more directly.
Jason's punishment was to explicitly prevent him from holding a position.
When that punishment expires, why is it being extended (effectively)
by the choice of superior officers? The expressed punishment by the
Council is that he be not allowed to hold position for 6 months. This
particular choice (and they chose to change it from the orginal
punishment for a reason, I assume) is being altered by choice of Jon
by choosing to extend the punishment [effectively] another 6 months.
How is that following the desire of the Council?
****The council chose to uphold a six month suspension. The council is not
saying they wish to see an extended punishment. but they do agree that Jason
did something wrong. Hence, the disciplinary action. The council itself has
nothing to do with the election process.
As an additional question: do you begin to ignore past disciplinary
actions when the date of action is 6 months past, or the date of
punishment's end is 6 months past?
Ex: A member is suspended for a year. After they come back from
suspension, do they wait 6 months more to be eligible for a position
(by R*'s effected policy), or since the date of the actual action is 6
month's past, that member would be free to be elected?
****I would say an additional 6 months. The reason being is that the member
is fresh back from being found guilty of a violation of rules. To allow them
to immediately run again is, in my opinion, like saying that they have
completely learned their lesson and there is not a chance this could happen
all over again. The additional six months doesn't mean the member could not
serve as an assistant at the local level though to help show that they have
changed their way of working.
Thank you for the time and consideration, Jed.
****Anytime. :-) I hope this helps you.
