The holidays are on now. Some have passed, others continue on. I did enjoy a nice break from checking e-mail on Christmas Day. Now I am gathering information from e-mails and sorting out what needs to be done as far as pending investigations are concerned. It was agreed that investigations, punishments and trials would be on hold until January (except for the cheating cases). Also, please note that the HCI command is on leave until January 2nd-6th, for some. It wouldn't make sense for me to send them requests for trials right now. I will wait until they return, but I may begin to review some evidence now so I am ready for the beginning of 2003. Also a process that is always going on is the review and analysis of the current EH justice system. (This involves the EH Regulations, my office and duties and the High Court of Inquisitors and their duties, regulations, and procedures. I still am looking for a way to make the process of handling complaints and investigations and giving recommendations a smoother and more consistent process. Some guidelines for certain kinds of complaints are probably the way to start. Complaints vary and can generally be categorized by the nature of the complaint, or by the structure of the positions of the members involved. I will think on what are the different kind of complaints and begin to setup some procedural guidelines. I am thankful that the number of complaints received this week has been down to a minimum. Either there weren't that many problems, people weren't online to cause them, or I just didn't hear about them. I would like to thank the members who DO follow the EH regulations. You make my job easier since I do not have to review complaints sent about you. With thousands of members, it is a possibility that I could have maybe a hundred complaints. I am glad I am not even close to that number even during my busiest times. Happy Holidays! Enjoy the New Year!
