Hi All
I am sorry for not responding earlier but I have been on the road since
this morning.
My GUESS is that this situation arose from behavior strongly influenced
by alcohol. From what I have assessed from the comments, I also believe
that there was no ill intent directed at the members or the PYC in this
incident, only a lack of responsibility brought on by overindulgence.
This lack of responsibility and the actions that resulted, however, can
not be tolerated within the PYC membership.
My thoughts are that:
We try to keep this from going public as such exposure would only
reflect poorly on the PYC in the long run. It might also legally
complicate the situation far more than it needs to be. This is an
internal issue as we are dealing with a member hence should be handled
internally. (This assumes that it is a member; a fact that must be
validated completely.)
We should truly consider Roy's comments and determine if there are
indeed extenuating circumstances that suggest a need for compassion in
this situation.
I do think immediate restitution and resignation are appropriate and
necessary. If the member's personal situation changes then we can
consider a possible future reinstatement within the context of the
reinstatement process as defined in the constitution.
