 Organizing a judicial board for IFC, which would essentially be a group of delegates with

The board would hear any appeal by a chapter that feels as if it is being treating unfairly

 Reading through the by-laws to create a shortlist of the most important points and make
this available to chapters so they understand specifically what is and is not against the

is not out to be the bad guy in terms of rule enforcement and giving consequences

improve their process or if it parts of it could be borrowed to be used in another chapter's
