Editing Meeting Notes 2022 04 12 (section)

= Do-ocratic Task Board =
Participation also means doing stuff to contribute to the space. Propose new tasks or pick some tasks from [https://github.com/noisebridge/buildout-capp Github], from what needs to be done around you, or whatever, and see if someone will sign up to work on that task. Anyone can sign up and it's a great way to show you are contributing! 

in addition to the github TJ put together this TODO board https://trello.com/b/votKcUok/lets-improve-noisebridge-pt-2-pandemic-boogaloo

Loren - can we target next week for a board election? We need a member in good standing list and quorum number?

LX - can we go over it till we have a process that doesn't seem to have problems?

Mark - I think we need someone like secretary or president who is point person to take private ballots. They can decide what method to take them by. Let's try to be efficient.

EHR - There is an anonymous voting extension for slack that could be added. That could give anonymity and accessibility aspects. Consensus items are already not anonymous it would in the interest of consistent process be in that vein. One idea would be you could set up a system where people are invited to the election hacking channel on slack who are members in good standing and vote anonymously. A roster of people who are in good standing would be stablished over the week. Slack postings and anonymous paper ballots could both work. Anything more complex would be too much.

Dave - I hate to pile on yet another choice, but: 1 thing we could do is come up with a secret code like OTP give it to anybody who wants to participate in voting who we check ok. Have them send anon email to an address to see if anybody objected.

EHR - If idea is to make things secure, we could have a sytem that does that. If you are member in good standing paper ballot lockbox in the space. I think if we home-roll election security, we're out of our depth.

LX - I think we can agree on something good electronic that we feel good about.

Dave - I think Loren deserves recognition because he did hard work coming up with a plan without which we would not do anything longer.

Claus - even if we do another voting thing its valuable to build the slack channel to get ready for whatever we use.

LX - we could work on the rolls list over the week to start a process next week after working it out.

Dave - we could support some voting in person next week and slack, email and other methods. Approval voting.

Claus - does board appoint officers?

Dave - members choosing officers seems more Noisebridge.

Dave - Board laws say boards appoint officers.

LX - Members can still choose appointments by consensus for board to "appoint".

Claus - So we should put on the voting people nominating officers.
