(b) Judicial-Council Action. After considering a petition for review and the materials before it, the judicial council may:
(2) return the matter to the chief judge with directions to conduct a further inquiry under Rule 11(b) or to identify a complaint under Rule 5;
(3) return the matter to the chief judge with directions to appoint a special committee under Rule 11(f); or
(4) in exceptional circumstances, take other appropriate action.

A memorandum supporting a judicial-council order must not include the name of the complainant or the subject judge.

If the judicial council’s decision is adverse to the petitioner, and if no member of the council dissented, the complainant must be notified that he or she has no right to seek review of the decision. If there was a dissent, the petitioner must be informed that he or she can file a petition for review under Rule 21(b).
(f) Public Availability of Judicial-Council Decision. Materials related to the judicial council’s decision must be made public to the extent, at the time, and in the manner set forth in Rule 24.
