Dear Committee Members,
Feel free to throw cold water on this idea. I might yelp but I won't hold it against you.
The title "Hearings on a Community Disruption" continues to irk me. Not because I prefer to call it Violations, but because we could only think of three choices at the time of the vote, and I really disliked all of them. They were all very cumbersome. And it seemed that no one was completely satisfied that any of the choices described the Hearing properly.
When I keep notes on my hard drive about what we are doing, I have my own shorthand, and I've been routinely referring to ¶4 Hearings as "ordinary hearings."
There are ... ordinary hearings ... and then there are extra provisions when it's a hearing on a ban, a hearing to remove and admin, a hearing to remove an elected official.
It occurred to me that it would be simpler, nicer, and more accurately descriptive to entitle this paragraph, "¶4 Ordinary Hearings."
I know we already voted on a title, and if people feel they need to re-debate the meanings of all possible titles, I would say "forget it - keep what we have" because it really is not worth it to delay the ratification of this article for something like that.
But we have to finish these two other votes and I thought that if lots of other members had a "duh, of course" reaction to the name "Ordinary Hearings" we might run a concurrent poll to give ¶4 a simpler title.
(or not)
