Consensus items[edit]

Proposals from last week [edit]

Membership identification[edit]

Both Jakes (local and remote) are unhappy with the following proposal:

If a member has not identified themself as such by adding the Category:Members to their wiki user page by $DATE, they shall no longer be a member of Noisebridge.

We have therefore declined to continue this proposal.

Membership application expiry[edit]

We agreed the following:

Membership applications should be dated. If a paper membership application has been in the binder for more than twelve weeks, that application should be discarded. If that person still wants to become a member, they must start the application process over from scratch.


Proposals for next week [edit]

Access policy changes[edit]

Jake proposes a change to the previous consensus agreement regarding access to Noisebridge.

We should replace:

Noisebridge's space shall be open only to members and associate members at any time. A member or associate member may at any time invite a person into Noisebridge and host that person at Noisebridge as long as that member or associate member remains at Noisebridge. No other person shall be permitted at Noisebridge at any other time.

with:

Noisebridge is open to Members, Associate Members, and guests sponsored by same, at all times. Any person who is not one of the above may be asked to leave if no Member or Associate Member present wishes to sponsor them at that time, with no other justification being necessary.

People coming to Noisebridge who don't know anyone should be introduced to members who are present so that sponsorship can occur if members present choose to do so at that time. Noisebridge should present itself as "open to public visitors and guests as often as possible".
