What does a suspension of up to 2 years imply for a member or apprentice?

A suspension of up to 2 years indicates that the individual retains their membership status but loses certain privileges associated with that membership. This means that while they are still considered a member, they are not allowed to partake in certain activities or benefits, such as playing in tournaments or accessing member-only facilities. This condition helps maintain a relationship with the organization, allowing for the possibility of reinstatement or re-establishment of full privileges after the suspension period ends.

The concept behind this suspension classification typically aims to enforce discipline while still keeping members engaged and aligned with the organization’s standards.
