You are right... rules need to be applied fairly. Having the Ad Com 
members working on list admin is a step in that direction but maybe 
not enough? The more the rules are applied, the better the list will 
run.

A little slippage would not be disastrous though, as long as it's not 
too much. If we want to avoid all slippage (i.e., we want true 100% 
enforcement), maybe we need a technical solution?
