For the record, a disciplinary hearing is being convened to hear the following charges: The Advisory Board has been requested to conduct a disciplinary hearing for Diane Siniard, member of COGenWeb and MOGenWeb, for the charge of breaching the confidentiality of Grievance 2009-08-15 for which Ms. Siniard served as the Chair of the Grievance Committee.

A bit of additional information - the hearing will be chaired by Cyndie Enfinger at my request. There is a separate email list that has been set up that I will subscribe all members of the AB and Diane to so that they can participate if they choose to do so. Anyone that chooses not to participate and/or refuses to agree to follow the requirements that are set by the chair will be unsubscribed from the list. Cyndie will be sending out additional information to all involved, I'm sure.
