Having worked with ADs in the past and understanding my own tendencies,
we would tend to second-guess the Ombudsteam.
Unless you want ADs conducting independent investigations after the
Ombudsteam has already done its work, don't ask ADs to make the
decisions about chair removal.
I think making the Ombudsteam interact with chairs for doc editor
removal is highly problematic; it seems very likely that some chairs
will not handle things appropriately.
I agree with Dave Crocker here.
