We further pledge to not remove any Member from the Primary Notice Channel without first pursuing the remedies according to Section 3 Model Issue Dispute Resolution, except when emergency action is reasonably warranted. Further, to the extent that emergency action is warranted, we will act lawfully, in reasonable proportion to the threats justifying emergency action, and seek inasmuch as is fair and reasonably possible to minimize unnecessary damage to any Member’s property, income, or reputation.
We further pledge to not resign from administering any active Primary Notice Channel of which we are the sole administrator, without first appointing another willing and qualified Channel Admin to take our place.
