What I meaned was panel or board. So the question is: Who do you turn  to 
when violations of Vinaya rules occur in the US? Do you have kind of a  
Vinaya board to discuss them - which means deal with them according to the  
Vinaya? That, along with other tasks like making the Vinaya known, should be  the 
aim of such a board.

It is my experience, limited though it might be, that ordained monks at  
least in the Thera and Mahayana traditions are not much of a factor in the US. 
 Most of the Buddhist groups here in the Chicago area are not led by monks.
