Emergency EH Meeting, October 2021

This is an Emergency EH Meeting to discuss the CRB's report sent to the EH mailing list on August 29th. This meeting will be held over Zoom, and I will send the Zoom link to EHs and those named in the report the day of or the day before.

If you are an EH, you can read the email that was sent to the EH list in the RealmsNet email archives.

Per the Omnibus,

The proceedings of an Emergency EH Meeting should remain close to the topic(s) of the original issue(s). However, if additional topics related to the original matter are identified prior to or during the course of the meeting, the scope of the meeting may be expanded to include the new issues at the discretion of the assembled Event Holders.

Emergency EH Meetings are flexible. As such, I can't give an agenda and promise that the meeting will stick to it without adding anything extra. That said, I can give a rough outline of the meeting, mostly summarized from the CRB rules about the meeting.

• Introduction/welcome from me: a "reading of the rules", if you will
• An overview of the case from Jon Jessop, Chair of the CRB
• Opening statements
• A discussion of the case (I expect this to be the bulk of the meeting)
• A vote to end the discussion portion
• People suggest options for what (if any) action is warranted
• A vote to end the suggestion portion
• A vote on the preferred course of action ("do nothing" counts as a "course of action")

In addition to EHs, everyone named in the report is allowed to attend this meeting. I believe I've reached out to everyone named. If you think you're named in the report and I've not yet reached out to you, please reach out to me.

Tucker Noyes will be on staff to assist me with some of the technology, including running the votes.

As with previous virtual meetings I've run, do not record this meeting. The staff will not be recording the meeting. Some attendees live in states that outlaw secretly recording conversations. If we find out that someone is recording the meeting, we will promptly eject them from the meeting.

Voting will be done through Google Forms. Every vote will ask for your name and whether you are abstaining. The names are there so I and my staff can verify that votes are only being made by people eligible to vote, and that nobody accidentally submits the form twice. As with the previous meetings I ran this way, I do not intend to share how individual people voted. We will use Google Forms rather than Zoom's UI because it's more flexible, and because it allows multiple EHs sharing a computer to each vote.

I'd like to remind people of this rule regarding adjudication of CRB cases:

Any person who, through direct statement or implication, reveals the identity of a redacted or anonymous party or reveals aspects of other evidence which are redacted without first securing permission to do so from the applicable party/parties will be promptly ejected from the adjudication proceedings and may be subject to further action.

This case covers several incidents over a long period of time. Many of you will have personally experienced some of the incidents in the report, and thus might know some of the identities of the redacted names. In case you know more than is in the report, please try to find time to review the report to make a mental note of what information you can't share. I'd really like to not have to remove anyone from the meeting because of a mistake.
