There's a time-tested idea in Mt 18, 15-17:

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just
between the two of you.  If they listen to you, you have won them over.
But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that
'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse
to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax 
collector.

"Take one or two others along" could be a CC.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
