The president shall, from time to time, and as may be suitable to general or specific occasions, define and publish the regular or special duties of the rally master. The rally master may, with good cause and for the general good, recommend the suspension or expulsion of any member of this chapter who willfully and unreasonably disobeys a proper request from the rally master in matters involving the health, welfare, or safety of the assembled group or the public-at-large.

Such recommendation for suspension or expulsion shall be made in writing to the chapter president, who shall then promptly convene a special meeting of the Executive Committee, plus not less than four additional chapter members, not a party to the proceedings, to hear the charges and defense. The participants of the special meeting shall, after due deliberation, and upon a two-thirds vote, take such action as it deems appropriate to the situation.
