== Meeting Notes == Rachel started off the meeting with a list of questions we need to answer: * How does one become a member?/What does it take to be a member? * What priveleges is a member entitled to? * What should a member not do?/What is our code of conduct? * If a member becomes a problem, how do we expel them? '''How does one become a member?/What does it take to be a member?''' notes: 3 month period. someone vouches for them integrate with the community before you attempt to join it. what can't you do in the first three months? the community decides if this person will be a part of the group it is easier to not let someone in than it is to get rid of them later. are we viewing the community as the same as the space? do we want to make a distinction between people who have keys and can use the space and members? decouple keyholders and members. "I trust you, you can have a key" NYC Resistor - you must be invited and then accepted by the membership. more exclusive. the space is small Enki - about Metalab - new people are encouraged to contribute. not a formal process. Growth is a positive thing. If we have a lot of members, we can expand. Jake - doesn't agree with NYC Resistor format. People have come here and complained about their process (Jake) Honorary Members - visitors who will have keys. Enki is an example. Suggests mailing keys to people who we wish would show up. Not worried about people showing up. Safety concern - should we have a list of people who have keys. lock is easily picked. Jake doesn't think we should be concerned about knowing who has keys fill out a form?? Simple web form - we can see who is the new members. form with two cosigners to vouch. (What about people new to the area? After three months of hanging out, you know someone.) Three month period will help weed out people who will lose interest quickly. Application fee will become first month dues if they're ultimately accepted into the group. ''the process we came up with at the end of the discussion:'' 1. applicant puts name on website 2. time passes 3. fill out form 4. finds two members to vouch 5. anyone with an objection within 3 month time period should speak up. Some objections can be resolved. Some cannot. Approve by consensus. '''What priveleges is a member entitled to?''' key to the space right to participate in the consensus process. '''What should a member not do? What is our code of conduct?''' Jake - rather not have a formal code of conduct Rachel - code of conduct - "Be Nice" "Be Nice and Be Excellent to Each Other" '''If someone is a problem, how do we expell them?''' we talked before about the membership holding a vote. member in question can then appeal to the board before being expelled. do we take their key away? If they still have access, how does it work to ban people? Peter strongly suggests that we have a process in place before the problem ever arises. Jake - lets not use force, use reason instead. make them not want to be here - that will be more effective than throwing someone out. Enki - have a set of guidelines. board decides temporary suspension? 2/3 majority as required by law. no conclusion here. more discussion is necessary
