==Noisebridge Philanthropists== * We need more recurring donations. * We want to make people happy. * There's a bunch of other stones to kill with birds or whatever the table-turning phrase is. * We've got a keycard system that works great. * A lot of folks want to use it outside of the regular "open hours" * Membership works, but its problematic. Takes a while for people to go through the process, especially if they just want 24/7 access * 24/7 access isn't really well defined * The proposal: '''Philanthropists''' * We have a status for someone who isn't a member, but has been recognized as Excellent and should be given 24/7 access * They or their proxy comes to the meeting. A member sponsors them. They are then asked to give a recurring donation (same rate as member dues), sign a pledge about what it means to have 24/7 access, what it means to close up, how they can get access revoked, etc. Turned into the secretary * Revocation: A member brings it up saying "I think they've been unexcellent", and it is immediately revoked. If mediation succeeds, they have access reinstated. Otherwise it remains revoked. * This formalizes what it means to have 24/7 access: the responsibilities, how to get it, a clear path, etc * Noisebridge gets someone who would be happy to give a recurring donation and someone to help keep the space open while still protecting Membership. * It's on the wiki: [[Philanthropist]] and [[Philanthropist/Pledge]] Comments * Information on people that have grandfathered 24/7 access. * If someone already has 24 hrs access, Why does only one member gets to revoke the access? * Poop example... * Anyone, including our members still abide by our Code of Conduct regardless of status. Mediation is called for. Any situation should be mediated and a resolution should be worked on. * It is decidedly UNexcellent for any member to just say I don't like this person and to remove access for no reason. * This system is looking to define clearly who gets 24 hour access. * Clear distinction between "Philanthropist" and "Associate Member". * Members have a distinct definition given by the State of CA, and for various reasons it is extremely difficult to remove someone from membership. For this reason we want to make it difficult to become members because we want to make sure we have excellent people join the space. * Philanthropists are not member; they are people that continue to contribute donations to the space. With a sponsorship by a member, they can gain 24/7 access without having to apply for membership. * Is this going to have any conflict with our current 11am-11pm status? Answer: No, nothing changes. * Talked about control for after-hours access and for working on a Hotline to resolve difficult situations in the middle of the night.
