Editing Current Consensus Items

{{meetings}}
This is a page for hosting consensus items currently under debate, with their formal wording.

You might be looking for 
* the [[Draft Consensus Items]] page, instead? If your consensus item still drafty, in need of much revision, and not something that you think people already can more or less agree with.
* [[Consensus_Items_History|Consensus Items History]] is the public record of consensus items that have been decided on in the past. Please move the records from the "Current" page to the "History" page once they've been approved/blocked.

| Renewing May 23rd Consensus Item 
REVIEWING as of Feb 27th, 2024
Updating blocking requirement for big C consensus items from 1 to 2 people. Currently in order to block a big C consensus Item, we need only 1 member to block. Would like to update this number to 2 members. Perhaps the 1 member to block made sense when the community was tiny. It doesn't make sense anymore in our much larger community. If you cant convince anyone else to block with you, then maybe you just have bad ideas. The community should not have to make changes only folks with bad ideas think are good.

This change would be provisional for 3 months [from May 23, 2023]. Also would only apply for member proposed consensus items, non-member proposed consensus items would still be block able by a single member. Also only 1 member would be required to block new membership. Also if any one member would like to block, but cannot because they are alone, they can request a 1 week hold to defer decision for an additional 3rd week.

| NB Should Get a Credit Card
| Because Noisebridge is applying for a mortgage in the nearish future, and b/c we have basically no credit history, Noisebridge would benefit from having a credit card to build credit history. It would also make various reimbursement and purchase processes smoother. Therefore, Noisebridge will acquire a credit card, and precisely which one will be determined by little-c consensus. The treasurer shall be responsible for the final signup process.

| Discretionary fund
|Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

*  Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
*  On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
*  toilet paper, 
*  broom, 
*  shelves/drawers, 
*  exterminator
*  new bulb for projector,
*  low-cost useful tools, 
*  reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

*  Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
*  Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed. 


The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immedately, and shall recieve an additional 500$ on the first of each month from the general fund.
