For the moment, it seems like it's one of those "serves at the pleasure 
of the FPL/Board" kind of things.

I'm assuimg that the "enforcement" draft *purposefully* stops short of 
talking about "removal from the community".  Which is probably a good 
idea if the attempt is to get general agreement on a nice starting point 
for both documents, which could later be built into something more, if 
the CWG chose to do so.

Or maybe I simply assume too much. :P
