Impromptu philanthropist time:

Tim:
Members have 24/7 acccess. They can concense things. It takes two people to appoint a member. You become a member FOREVER Philanthropist - the inbetween step between some rando and a member. They need one member to sponsor. Pretty much the only difference is the ability to take part in concensus. 30 day key holders

Membership Binder [edit | edit source]
Membership in Noisebridge entails community Trust in Consensus.
(What does that mean? What do we expect from Members? How do you become a Member? etc)
No new members
Consensus[edit | edit source]
Consensus is how the Noisebridge Membership may change how Noisebridge works.
(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)
So huge for noisebridge that it wil piss people off if it does not get decided by everyone over a few weeks. Little C Consensus
-If Archon Naomi does not provide Domain access to treasurer or secretary email alias - Tim will revoke her title of Archon. She has one month to comply (by Jan 10, 2020) otherwise she will be renamed to Regular Naomi.
