Passed: Unanimously

====
Henningson recuses himself from discussion of the Havens complaints

====
MOTION:  Formal Complaints have been filed By James Henningson, Luke Olson, and Andrew LeCody against Mark Havens. As two of these members are on the upcoming ballot, along with two other members of this board, and in order to remove even the appearance of impropriety, a panel comprising of Paul Wilson, Charles Proctor, and Andrew Spencer, was created to serve as impartial arbitrators tasked with determining whether a violation has occurred. During the course of their deliberation after having received written statements and conducting a hearing, Charles Procter resigned from that panel. Move to Accept the findings of the panel (counting Proctors "vote" as against finding violation in all cases due to his resignation) that the Henningson and Olson Complaints do represent violation of DMS policy. Further move that the appropriate sanction is the permanent expulsion of Mark Havens from Dallas Makerspace.

====
MOTION:  A Formal Complaint was filed by Jim Hartnet against Kevin Patel for refusal to follow DMS policy regarding the use of DMS email protocols and an attempt to assert Patel's own email as an administrator over certain elements of DMS G-suite. A panel consisting of Tim Bene, Jayson Woods, and Luke Olson was created to determine if the Complaint represented a violation of DMS Policy. Move to accept the panels finding that the Complaint does represent a violation of DMS policy. Move to sanction Mr. Patel by removing him as chair of the Digital Media Committee.
