I will briefly reiterate purpose of this thread. 

This action is not about Paul vs the secretaries, nor is it about Paul vs 
any individual in the community, nor is it about Paul's character in 
general. This organization, which Michael and I serve as secretaries, has 
been asked for an opportunity to discuss and vote solely on the future 
disposition of Paul as a voting member of the FIG. I do not know how to put 
it more plainly. When this discussion period is over, there will be a vote. 
That vote will close the matter, whether the membership votes for or 
against expulsion. The FIG does not have the desire or power to censure or 
silence or chastise anyone. 

If the membership votes to expel, the Aura project will be asked to name a 
new representative, the matter will be closed, and we will do our best to 
move on together. 

If the membership votes against expulsion, then the matter will be closed, 
and we will do our best to move on together. 

If anyone has *any* doubt as to that fact, please feel free to contact me 
directly. As far as I am concerned that is the full extent of the potential 
outcomes of this action. I believe I speak for Michael when I say that 
anything beyond those two possibilities is outside the scope of this 
organization and will happen against its wishes and bylaws.

With that said, please keep your comments on topic and remember to 
self-throttle. I expect that all participants on this thread, voting 
members and non-members alike, will behave professionally from this point 
onward. Those who cannot control themselves will have their posting 
privileges restricted.

I understand that this is a difficult time for us. Remember that it is how 
we weather difficult times that demonstrates the power of a community. I 
have *NO* doubt that this community is strong enough to survive this 
moment, no matter the outcome of this vote.

Thank you,
Samantha Quiñones
