Okay, here's my proposal for revising Section 4.2, with change bars. The
footnotes are explanatory and not part of the proposal.
4.2 Censures, Suspensions and Expulsions
There may arise situations where the behavior of an individual
community member violates the Community's norms.
The Board will maintain an OGB Censure, Suspension and Expulsion
Process dealing with the specifics of notification, mediation, fact
finding and taking actions, such as censure, suspension of privileges
and expulsion.
A community member may only be expelled for behavior that has |
previously resulted in suspension of privileges for that member[1]. |
Expulsion of a member is subject to confirmation by a vote of the |
Electorate Group. The Electorate Group may also revoke the prior |
expulsion of a member. The threshold for approving or revoking an |
expulsion is the same as the threshold for approving changes to the |
Constitution[2][3]. |

Footnotes:
[1] This requirement is the same as the current Constitution.
[2] Currently a simple majority as long as there is a quorum, as per
Section 2.1.3 of the proposed Constitution.
[3] My intent is that we not make "operational" activities harder than
changes to the Constitution. I thought it would be better to
explicitly tie the expulsion rules to the rules for Constitution
changes, rather than repeat the text from Section 2.1.3 ("majority
of the Electorate Group members participating in a quorate
election").
