 * Proposed pages will be put on Talk pages of Moderator pages.
 * Set a time period (1 Year) for Moderators so that they need to indicate if they're willing to continue in the role, following the procedures that they are supposed to be doing. If they're not willing to continue filling the role properly, they can be terminated as Moderators.
 * Set a number of edits that should be done in a year to remain as a Moderator.
 * Set up an Advisory Committee - group of community people, - 6 to 8 people who brainstorm and help determine a form of action.  They make recommendations. A FamilySearch representative would bring the issue to the Advisory Committee. (Community Council)
