I have a question about Stage 0: REPORT.  Is there a stage or step of
"acceptance of the report"?

I was re-reading this page while thinking about how we would have
applied this to our past events.  At the top of MINOR OFFENCES, it
says that we should try to deal with things informally.  If complaints
are made to directors, is there immediate acceptance of the complaint
and it goes on the formal record?  Or would directors ever "push back"
and look for ways to resolve it informally?  Do directors always just
assume this has been done?  Is there an investigation done into the
complaint?



I think there is a larger impact of this policy with respect to our
Principles (as Ryan so thoughtfully pointed at in the other thread).
Are we as a collective group wanting to use this kind of procedure
that is not 100% completely transparent?  Do we have other acceptable
alternatives?
