In the case of an expulsion, the person voted on should IMHO *not*
have a vote, but be allowed to make a public statement before the
vote.
Now, if the board wants to expel everyone but their friends, they
could do that, but all of the members would vote on each expulsion
separately, each time only minus the one person whose expulsion is
being discussed. That way, the board cannot just expel everyone they
don't like at once.
The change required for this has been committed (commit 028f4f6).

If we choose open membership, then absolutely: easy rules and their
transparent application.
