Section 5. Reduction in Size by 1/3. The membership of a Member in the Corporation shall be suspended
automatically, if the size of the network or association is reduced by one-third (1/3) during any period of
twelve (12) consecutive months regardless of any increase during the same period. The foregoing may be
subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, but the same is not required unless the Board of Directors
takes appropriate action in this regard.
Section 6. Board Options. In the case of a change in circumstances, as defined in Section 2, a majority of
the Board of Directors may impose conditions of membership on a Member with or without suspension.
The failure of the Member to comply with or achieve the conditions set out will result in the
implementation of Section 2 on the date established by the Board for such compliance.
Section 7. Suspension and Denial of Privileges. During suspension the affected Member shall be removed
from the website, shall not be able to attend meetings or participate in other corporate activities, unless
otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, pending a decision of the Board of Directors to reinstate or
for the Member to meet the Board of Director’s prescribed conditions for reinstatement.
Section 8. Reinstatement In the event of suspension or denial of privileges of a Member as set out in
Section 5 above, the affected Member may apply to be reinstated as a Member by the affirmative vote of
two-thirds (2/3) of the full Board of Directors, provided such vote is taken before the adjournment of the
second meeting of the Board of Directors at which such matter is considered. If a Member's membership
in the Corporation is not reinstated as provided in the preceding sentence, such Member's membership
in the Corporation shall be deemed automatically terminated. In the event of a termination of a Member
as set out in Section 1 or 2, above, the affected Member may apply for a reinstatement at the first meeting
of the Board of Directors, following the termination provided that any conditions established have been
satisfied. Reinstatement requires the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the full Board of Directors.
Section 9. Procedures. In connection with a Member's suspension, denial of privileges of membership or
termination provided for in this Article 14, such Member shall have the right to:
(a) Receive notice in such cases where the Board of Directors determines it is reasonable to provide
advance notice to such Member prior to such suspension, denial of privileges or termination that the
Member's conduct or circumstances may result in such action.
(b) Written notification will contain the grounds for such suspension, denial of privileges or termination
and the terms thereof.
(c) Submit any documentation or materials to the Board of Directors for their consideration. Such
documentation shall be presented in advance of a meeting with the Board of Directors to present the
Member's case.
(d) Meet with the Board of Directors, at such time and place as may be reasonably determined by the
Board of Directors, and present to the Board of Directors reasons for determining that the suspension,
denial of privileges or termination is not appropriate; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall,
in accordance with this Article 14, make all determinations with respect to suspensions, denials of
privileges or terminations.
