The Council’s Respectful Behavior Committee consists of three members of Council appointed by the Executive Committee with consent of Council who serve during their terms of office.
On behalf of the Council, the Respectful Behavior Committee is charged in line with the Code of Conduct, with adjudicating Ombuds Committee reports and determining whether a violation of the Respectful Behavior Policy occurred; issuing sanctions, if deemed appropriate, for a violation; submitting a report of the committee’s findings and determinations to the Secretary; and communicating the outcome to the Ombuds Committee, who will then inform the parties.
