DISCUSSION: Ryan Rising (sponsored by Lyra and Kevin)

Ryan's application for membership did not reach consensus.

  • Learned about NB 2 years ago via Occupy SF; interested in robotics as kid; become interested in permaculture (growing for earth care, fair share, people care) since robotics tied to military; wants to do direct action and organize for social justice; interested in drones for moving supplies; interested in sound
  • Will use consensus during Occupy SF; appreciate 100% consensus because blocking isn't for disagreeing, is if "harmful towards organization or people in it"; block if physically harm another human being; would wait 1-2 years before blocking; needs to learn more about NB before blocking
  • Will try to be best person he can be to resolve conflicts, hopes other people will too; learned about mediation in college
  • Thinks the best thing for NB is to communicate it to others, make sure others know it exists; clean bathrooms, organize
  • Will tell others if not being excellent (kicked someone out last week for sleeping in utility closet)
  • Wants to be member to participate more, do more, not necessarily meetings but to have common agency over space, make space feel welcome to others
  • His friends have sound equipment, would like to have second fundraiser at a separate space to help sponsor members who cannot afford
  • Can't think of issue/proposal he would block; would block if NB hacked food stamp system so others could not eat

Financial Report

None since key members are absent.

Consensus Items From Last Week
