Giving these decisions to the membership seems the most fair and open way to
make such hard and necessary decisions.
I read with interest Fred's idea for the entire board to abstain. The
problem with it is that the by-laws require the board to vote on a membership.
There is no provision for the membership to vote a member in or out. If the
board does not vote, and everyone abstains, it would seem to me, no action
could
be taken on the application. This would mean the application would "die" and
the member rejected.
You can't make up procedures when you have by-laws in place. Either you
follow them, or you are acting outside the by-laws, and that can bring
liability.
I like the idea that Fred came up with. Unfortunately out board has to act
within the by-laws, and is required to vote. They can abstain, but that does
not confer any power to the membership to vote.
