regulating the course of the hearing;

ordering the parties to present oral arguments at any stage of the disciplinary proceeding;

resolving any procedural and evidentiary matters, discovery requests, and motions;

creating and maintaining the official record of the disciplinary proceeding; and

drafting a decision that represents the views of the majority of the hearing panel.
