At this point in time, I don't think it is useful to determine who is right 
and who is wrong in interpreting Joanna's words.
Esther has asked whether Joanna would accept the position.
From my part, before providing an opinion, I would like to have her answer 
to a simple question: "AtLarge membership and eligibility to office will be 
open to any individual, with no additional restriction versus the set of 
rules given for the 2002 AtLarge elections. Agree/Disagree?"

As for Alexander's decision about suspension, either we believe that he has 
applied the rules, including the one increasing the duration of the 
suspension for repeated offense, and therefore we stop complaining, or we 
point out which rule has been misapplied, and we appeal to the Chair for 
reconsideration.

Best regards
Roberto
