Top Echelon Network Policy 4

Issue: Accusing another Top Echelon Network Member of "wrong doing"

Date: 11/05/90

All Top Echelon Network Members are required to follow Top Echelon Network’s formal "COMPLAINT PROCEDURE" STEP BY STEP if they feel that they have been "wronged’’ by another Member of Top Echelon Network. Any deviation from this procedure by the accusing Member will automatically result in suspension of his or her Top Echelon Network privileges for two months.

Spirit of this Policy
There will be differences in any organization. When they occur, they must be handled quickly, professionally, and fairly. The actual "Complaint Procedure" may change as Top Echelon Network grows, so it is the responsibility of each Member to make sure that he is following the appropriate "complaint procedure."

If any Member does not exactly follow Top Echelon Network’s "Complaint Procedure," we must suspend his or her Top Echelon Network and online system privileges for two months, regardless of how badly he may have been "wronged" by the other Member. This is the only way we can ensure that the problem will be handled professionally. We will not tolerate a "vigilante" approach to resolving conflicts between Members.

If you have a problem with another Member, you are required to follow Top Echelon Network’s "Complaint Procedure." (see Policy #5)
