According to Lynn Cantwell's post, the investigation that led up to the membership suspension and ban from ever holding an office in the Romance Writers of America (RWA) by Courtney Milan is still roiling the group. Chinese-American author Courtney Milan wrote twitter posts about a book by Kathryn Lynn Davis which Ms. Milan felt was an unfair representation of Chinese women. Ms. Davis filed a complaint with the RWA against Milan. (Davis's publisher filed a second complaint.) The RWA set up a secret ethics committee, did a secret investigation of the situation and then the Board suspended and banned Milan. The post contains links to other information about the suspension and ban which will help you get a full understanding of the situation.

Panzer says, "This was the first time this little kitty read it was a secret ethics committee."
