OK, lets see if I have a process that will work:
1. Either one of the AMs or the Front Desk receives mail from a third
party, declaring an applicant in the queue to be undesirable.
2. That AM should pass this information to the Front Desk for action.
3. FD contacts the third party and asks for specific information about the
applicant in question.
4. When this information has been provided, the FD contacts the applicant,
presenting the information delivered. This contact will declare the
options that the applicant has. They can either remove their application
or they can choose to defend themselves before the collective AMs. This
defense requires that the applicant identify themselves to the group and
present their defense.
5. Once the applicant has completed his defense and answered all questions
from the AM (board of enquiry?) that group will decide on the
acceptability of the applicant.
6. Depending on the outcome of the "trial" the FD will either reject the
application in the name of the group, or assign an AM if rejection is not
considered necessary.
