INTRODUCTION

Everything about this issue and this process is practically new, so we spent a lot of time and energy trying to cover as many bases as possible for this issue, and any future issues like it.

The process looked like this:

1) Upon arriving home from NPS, I mobilized the EC to address this issue with almost 100% focus. So we’ve not spent our time on much else except necessary day-to-day.
2) The EC went about discussing how we should collect evidence and information regarding the event. It was determined that I, with Steve Marsh as back-up, would contact any necessary participants and collect written reports from them. Also if footage was available I was to gather that as well. I was then to compile all of that information into a report for the EC to discuss, debate and vote on.
3) Video footage was obtained from Gabrielle Boulianne, who streamed four angles of video online of what happened onstage. This video was scrutinized heavily, and was the basis for determining who in fact did what, and when they did it (save for what happened afterwards backstage).
4) We agreed on a process to determine who should be voting, how we should be voting and on what we should be voting. We spent a great deal of time crafting an infrastructure that seems to have worked, and constantly looked for the loopholes in the process.
5) We voted, discussed, and in one case, re-voted.
6) We weighed any possible mitigating circumstances, which led to the design of community service options for most of the participants.
7) I compiled post-investigation information into this report.
8 ) We have released this report to the members, thus completing our efforts in regard to the events described.
9) We compiled a list of resultant considerations (further rules, changes to the Code of Honour, etc.) that we’ll work on for the future.

What you have here are the results. The EC has all 20+ reports from individuals on file and have opted to keep that information on an EC need-to-know basis due to its sensitive nature. Also, of the original investigation I compiled from these reports and all available evidence (video), I have culled from it the chain of events that occurred.
