 Here is the proposal which I made some time ago on the other
> discussion board (the one which is now lost), about changing
> the standing committee. It's pretty simple.
>
> The procedure I'd like to suggest is the following:
>
> After any standing committee decision is made, the result of this
> decision must be made public, along with a brief explanation (rather
> than at the end of the year).
> If the appealing party feels hard done by, they may then choose to
> launch an appeal. This will cost them £10, which will only be returned
> if they are successful.
> Appeals will be put before the general committee on the bds list, and
> voted on, in an EGM (electronic general meeting) way, as has been done
> in the past.
> If an appeal is successful, then the offending members of the standing
> committee (who will have been viewed guilty of mis-interpreting the
> constitution) shall be removed from the standing committee.
>
> Why is this good? Because it adds transparency, accountability and a
> safeguard against a biased an unscrupulous SC.
