These records shall be stored in a location which is easily accessible to all members of the CC, and which is also considered a safe, long-term storage area.
3. With particular reference to disciplinary records, every effort shall be made to accumulate precedent such that, in administrating disciplines or appeals, there can be developed and adhered to specific and general precedent. When a disciplining or reviewing authority requests, these records may be made available.
