There would also (I would think) need to be a procedure to follow if someone had a grievance against another member of the guild. And maybe a procedure to appeal if someone is probationary or rejected in order to not seem too strict. Otherwise someone might raise the claim of elitism or something. In other words a check in order to make sure that things are kept strictly impartial. It is possible to have a bias without being aware of it on a conscious level after all, and even editors at traditional publishing houses can have bad days.
