== Advocate/Board process ==
If an advocate can talk to whoever is causing issues and resolve it, that's great.

If this fails or wouldn't be helpful, it becomes a board problem.

When there is doubt as to what happened, start with an advocate investigation & report.
This may be unnecessary when there is no dispute as to the facts.

An incomplete list of consequences the board may do:
* For a minor, rare offense, a warning may be appropriate
* put the member on probation, with clear language that a longer probation or even ban might be pursued if another issue arises with the same person
* A permanent ban (The board can reverse these at any time so language to the effect of "ban may be overturned if" isn't necessary)


== Records that exist ==
We don't want to be a police state, but we also need to have institutional memory.
Those goals have some conflict, and we need to find a line we're all willing to tolerate

=== Advocate Records ===
Advocates have some stuff that is kept confidential unless there is consent to share with the board, or it is necessary to disclose for board action.

=== Board records ===
A list of every ban or probation


=== Public Records ===
* The [[Banned List]] has every banned person, as well as every ban reason
* Probation reasons are in the minutes, but all the reasons should be summarized by the flags bit of the other page

== When a probation Happens ==
# Ensure the vote is documented in a board meeting on the wiki
# Add them to the spreadsheet of ban/probation people that is in the Board+Advocate shared drive under discipline documentation
# [https://www.i3detroit.org/wiki/HOWTO_Program_a_key Deactivate their keys]
# ???

== When a Ban Happens ==
# Try to address any storage they have in the final proposal. (Remember to delete their storage plot from the crm later)
# Ensure the vote is documented in a board meeting on the wiki
# Remove them from the mailing lists
# Remove their role from the CRM and change their plan to “banned”

# [[Special:Block]] their wiki account
## Apply [[Template:Banned]] to their userpage

# Checking if they have any access to any of our social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), email groups, i3 calendar, etc
# Check for access to servers, vpn, etc
# Document this on all the banned lists 
## Update the [[Banned List]] Wiki page and print a new copy to hang by the door
## Spreadsheet of bans/probations people that is in the Board+Advocate shared drive under discipline documentation.
# Everything in [[HOWTO Leave]]
# Make an announcement to the announce list
