Thoughts on how to phrase it to add it back in Joe?

I agree.  I have no problem with the EC temporarily limiting/suspending a particular right for a violation of a policy previously passed by the AB until it reaches the AB in an appeal (as I proposed), but to allow the EC to have the power long-term to suspend rights shouldn’t happen.  Only the AB should have the power to do that, which has been removed from the AB (at some point since I made the proposal) for some reason.

but the proposal gives the EC the power to  suspend membership rights based on alleged actions of a member.  This is wrong.

NO.  the EC can suspend them, not the AB. The AB restores them with votes of the Board.

Whoa

Are you stating that both the AB and EC can remove membership rights based on alleged actions?

How about this one? 

Membership Rights

The following rights apply to all members equally, unless otherwise prohibited by law.  These rights cannot be limited or taken away by the STARFLEET Board of Directors, or any other person in STARFLEET, except as set forth in these By-Laws.

• Right to due process. 
• Right for all sides in an issue to be heard before judgment is passed. 
• Right to appeal all judgmental decisions.

The STARFLEET Board of Directors reserves the right to create additional rights, or to remove those rights.  Additional rights, as created by the Board of Directors are to be approved by a vote of the Board of Directors and, if approved by the members (or their designees), the newly created rights will be added to this section of the By-Laws without further vote by the membership at large.  They also reserve the right to impose limitations, or remove the rights, on a case-by-case individual basis for members who have failed to fulfill their responsibilities of membership (or are alleged of failing to fulfill the responsibilities of membership) at any time. 

The Officers of the Corporation, or their designated person(s), team(s), or committee(s), shall have the authority to temporarily limit or remove the rights of any member, for any violations of policy previously approved by the STARFLEET Board of Directors.  Membership rights may also be temporarily limited or removed upon allegations of failing to fulfill the responsibilities of membership, as deemed necessary by the Officers of the Corporation.  Only the STARFLEET Board of Directors can reinstate the rights previously limited or removed, upon the outcome of a member’s appeal.  

For the scope of this section, temporarily shall mean from the time that the action or offense is made or taken by a member, until the end of the appeals process, heard by the entire STARFLEET Board of Directors.
