Susan-

An excellent set of rules based on long experience.

Errrr, is there a procedure for asking a member to leave? I realize pospective members have to survive a trial period but what do you do if a "core member" is no longer functioning well?

Our group is legally incorporated and we can dismiss a member of our "board" by majority vote. Usually they leave on their own volition but everyone knows that is possibe.
