Al Heigl is a former member of American Mensa who was the webmaster of the Minnesota Mensa chapter. In 2006 he was brought before the National Hearings Committee on charges of acts inimical to Mensa stemming from a dispute with the local group over whether he continued to be its official webmaster, and he was expelled from Mensa.

Webmaster controversy

In 2002, Heigl was removed as webmaster by Minnesota Mensa, but he claims he reached an agreement to retain the position. For a time, there were two "competing" local group Web sites, one by Heigl and another by the new officially-appointed webmaster. Ultimately, Mensa took control of the domain name Heigl's version of the site had been posted under using the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). In 2006, charges of acts inimical to Mensa were brought against Heigl before the National Hearings Committee due to his actions regarding this Web site, resulting in his expulsion from Mensa after the hearing outcome was confirmed by the American Mensa Committee.
