RLC By-Laws Committee
Our goal is to work to improve the RLC By-Laws including: clarification of ambiguous text, simplification, modernization, and addressing gaps (due to e.g. change in Laws). It is a common best practice in non-profit organizations to go through such a revision periodically.
Our intention is to have this designed as a member-driven process. By design, a large majority of the By-Law Committee Members are not Trustees. Additionally, we like to incorporate members’ feedback and suggestions in multiple stages of the process. As a first step, we ask you to send us your suggestions for By-Law improvements. To help us address your suggestion please be as detailed and as concrete as possible.
Please include:
The issue this suggestion is addressing
Proposed changes to resolve said issue
List of relevant locations (page and paragraph number) in the By-Law document.
(Note: The scope of this committee is the By-Laws only. Trustees Laws are handled separately by the RLC. Trustees, and must not conflict with the By-Law.)

Functions: The Disciplinary Committee, consisting of an independent Hearing Officer and three members all of whom must be permanent, full members, is appointed by the Board.

The Committee will resolve violations in the following manner, as prescribed in the Trustee Law:
The Hearing Officer will initially receive a report of a violation, investigate the report, possibly including interviews with both complainants and accused, and document the findings for the Disciplinary Committee.
The Disciplinary Committee will receive the Hearing Officer's findings, possibly conduct further hearings with all parties involved, and make recommendations to the Board regarding disposition including sanctions.
The Board will consider the recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee and determine the final disposition of the problem including the imposition of any sanctions.
