Why should a valid voting member of the FIG not be allowed to vote? Yes,
it's about their expulsion, but there are only two possibliities in my eyes:
* either the vote of that person/project doesn't have an effect on the
outcome of the vote, so it's not really an issue,
* or the vote of that person/project *has* an effect on the voting
result, then it's a sign that the vote isn't as clear as it was thought
it'd be and that's an absolutely valid point in a democracy. It might
not "feel right" for some, but in my eyes it's better to have a valid
and not disputable vote than revoke the right to defend oneself not only
in discussion but also in voting.
Justs my 0.02€
