Why not simply say, "fair witnesses shall not delete items from
conferences period.  the "kill" command shall be de-permitted for fw's.
Henceforth, only the board's CfAdmin shall have the power to remove items.
And Cfadmin shall only remove items in accordance to staff policy and not
at the request of any individual user"

I don't think every conference need have separate rules, as Gull's
proposal allows for.  The conferencing environment as a whole is what is
important here.  There ought to be consistency in conference rules for all
conferences.  And I don't think fairwitnesses need the "kill" command, not
so long as they can freeze or retire items.
