The second is a little vague: the "...group doing the ex-communicating..."; I believe you mean the entire Church is the group, right?
I can visualize one little group in Church ex-communicating another little group;
well...you know what I mean.

I believe that should the issue not be resolved privately, or resolved after bringing witnesses, it should be told openly to the congregation or group. Then the entire body should have a voice as to if the person is to be ex-communicated, disciplined, or given more consideration. In our fellowship, we set aside a prayer meeting for it and then vote as a body.
