The danger in this is the complete lack of vetted, objective,
clearly-defined procedures to do so. Instead actions have been taken 
on an ad-hoc and discriminatory basis without any possible recourse.
This may sound strange coming from someone who would like nothing better
than to see the multiple personalities of Jeff be removed from these
discussions entirely so that they all may receive the psychatric attention
they so desperately need. However, I'd rather suffer through his presence
until proper procedure is developed and implemented rather than offering
the DNSO secretariat the overreaching sole discretion she has exercized. 

I fully support the intent of the actions, but not the actions themselves.
