This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Remember Brownie? The Arabian Association is well known for accusations of judging unfairness. I believe "Brownie" (his first name escapes me right now, but he was the non-hero of Katrina) was involved in trying to clean things up, and somewhere along the way, he was fired and a big lawsuit was filed. I actually think he may not have been at fault, but the point is that association lawsuits do happen in connection with ethics issues.
Gail When you move away from an aspirational model to an adjudicative model, as suggested by Brian, there are issues related to due process and fairness that must be addressed. It can get quite complicated. An ancillary issue is that organizations with adjudicative models are often the target of lawsuits from members related to ethics or conduct violations The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
