When you reconvene a disciplinary council to consider ending their status does a letter have to be created as for the original council or does just notifying them count? The Handbook seems to be unclear. On one hand it is a disciplinary council but on the other hand the recommended verbiage seems inappropriate for the follow up.

Did you read Handbook 1: 6.12.7? Given 6.12.3, they should know this is coming.

It is somewhat unclear. Handbook 1: section 16.12.7 doesn't mention a letter. But when I last had to deal with a reconvened council we were still using paper forms and at the time the instructions on the form indicated that the notice of disciplinary council had to be submitted as part of the paperwork for a reconvened council. I haven't been involved in a council since the online system was introduced so I don't know what it requires but you might see if it provides any additional information.

When I did a notice for a reconvened council I obviously worded it differently than indicated Handbook 1:16.10.2.

6.12.7 (I mis-typed 16) doesn't say letter, but does require notification. I'd think written notification would be advisable, given the situation above.
