The reason the Board has not expelled anyone is b/c these aforementioned events did not happen at a club meet, official or unofficial. We cannot hear and act upon every thing a member does on his own time. We simply cannot police the entire spectrum...especially as we begin to grow into a large group.
However, with that said, there does have to be some threshold that one can cross when they cease to be a "member in good standing" even though they don't fall in one of the specific bylaw categories. This is the exact situation that the next provision (expulsion) was setup. The provision gives Notice to the Board and the individual member and gives that member an opportunity to give a written explanation. Then, after seven days, a meeting can be held and the issues formally and privately discussed. At that time, a majority vote can expel the member.
Now, do I feel that this rises to the level? I do not know as I have not heard the member's side. He is allowed an opportunity to be heard before the Board meets. But, assuming what was said above, fraud in the inducment certainly rises to that level in my book. Fraud is not something I want associated with my Club, nor any of its members.
