| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
|
0) '''Respecting (recently updated) SF requirements relating to coronavirus pandemic''', Noisebridge is temporarily closed for "business as usual".  Whatever details, safe to say for the foreseeable future: '''no in-person "events"''' (classes, tours, parties, etc).  And most activities related to the buildout should probably hold off for now - let's stick to '''Minimum Basic Operations''' to be on the safe side.  Take a break folks!


1) Going forward, '''limit number of people''' indoors at 272 Capp to '''3 downstairs and 3 upstairs''' - whenever knowledgeable volunteers can safely get back to work building out the new space.
<!--
 
2) Knowledgeable Volunteers are encouraged to facilitate safe and productive use of the space.  '''Knowledgeable Volunteers schedule work in advance and coordinate efforts as much as humanly possible.'''  Knowledgeable Volunteers are best volunteers! Because they schedule in advance and don't mess around in the space too much!  '''Knowledgeable Volunteers are welcome''' and will be supported in their relentless pursuit of excellence.
 
3) Prioritize some projects to safely open the the space for more participants, such as '''ventilation''' and making good use of the '''outdoor space'''.  Allocate funds and '''encourage donations''' for these "phase zero" buildout expenses - for example might could '''budget $1000''' for some of the fans and shop stuff (tbd, not going crazy with stuff here but should arrange to expedite any necessary purchases in the interest of Moving the Project Forward)
 
4) Autoexpiration: Unless re-affirmed at a later date, these extraordinary restrictions should be considered '''obsolete by (at the latest) March 14th 2021''' - and open to reasonable modifications at any point as things change.  Probably should refresh details and reconfirm relevance at least every month or so.  And we can take it from there to increase capacity as conditions permit.
 
Anyway.  This proposal for (formal) Consensus claims to reflect the current state of affairs and a rough consensus of volunteers working to build out the space.  It's been going great so far and we'd like to keep it rocking - safely.  Further suggestions, questions, support (and moar volunteers!) from the broader Noisebridge community would be most welcome at this point.

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."
 
It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before.  After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options.  As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.
<p>
Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility.  Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens.  We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.
<p>
This consensus proposal Is for:<p>
1.  Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].<p>

Revision as of 01:09, 22 September 2021

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

Is your consensus item still drafty, in need of much revision, and not something that you think people already can more or less agree with? Perhaps it belongs on the Draft Consensus Items page, instead?

The 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.
