The expulsion of a developer is a serious matter which should not be done
by an appointed official. The Leader could perhaps have the power to
temporarily suspend a developer's privileges in an emergency, but the final
decision should be made by vote. The membership should also have the power
to overrule the appointment of a developer.
Some suggested wording:
Any developer may nominate a new developer. Such a nomination shall be
voted on accordance with the Standard Resolution Procedure.
The Leader's Delegate may nominate a new developer. A person thus
nominated shall become a developer after ten days unless a developer enters
an objection, in which case the nomination shall be voted on accordance
with the Standard Resolution Procedure. During the aforementioned ten days
the Delegate may grant to the nominee all the rights of a developer other
than the right to vote and hold office.
A developer may be expelled only by a majority vote of the developers. The
Leader may propose such an expulsion.
