c) If the Appellant, in an appeal to the Board of Directors, wishes to appear in person,
he or she may do so. In such cases, there must still be a prior written appeal stating
the grounds of the appeal. A representative of the original decision maker or of the
Committee that heard the original appeal shall also be present to respond to the
verbal and written presentations by the Appellant. If new written submissions are
provided, a final written response from the Appellant shall be permitted. Questions
may be put to the parties present, by the directors hearing the appeal.
d) The Board shall only hear oral representations when a reasonable opportunity is
provided to opposing parties to hear and respond to these representations. In the
event that oral representations or submissions are heard from an ineligible Board
Member, the Board Member must exempt themselves following the representations,
and shall not be permitted to participate in any aspect of the appeal deliberations.
