I'm not saying that a small committee can't be fair. I'm saying that |
9 |
having the split between investigating and judical does much to ensure |
10 |
fairness to include the perception of fairness. Having the same people |
11 |
do both functions can quickly give the perception of being unfair. |

I believe that we can still keep things small given the new system. |
14 |
Have 1-2 people investigate and 3 decide the punishment. That keeps it |
15 |
in the 3-5 range, but still keeps it separate. |

The checks and balances are in the fact that the same people doing the |
18 |
investigating are not the ones whom decide the punishment and that there |
19 |
is a right of appeal to the Gentoo Council. |
