=== Discussion Items === Proposed consensus items: Noisebridge paying for demo kits for a display for circuit hacking monday. Rayc proposed paying Mitch for a demo display for circuit hacking monday. Danny proposed mailing the list and asking for some money independently. Nick suggested asking Mitch for the kits. Kelly said ask the list, because we always a good response for this. Consensus item for expiration of membership on non-payment of dues. Danny read out the membership expiration text: If you have not paid dues for three months or more, and have not responded to at least three months of contact attempts by the treasurer or other board member or officer, your membership can be revoked by Noisebridge. If you later want to rejoin, you must go through the joining process again. Kelly said that this is ambiguous and an incredible hassle for the Treasurer. The spirit of this is: no dues, no contact for three months. Tom says: if I were a malicious member who wanted to block, could I just set up a Perl script to mail you once a quarter. Kelly says: we also have no definition for hiatus expiry. Rayc says: can we automate this to send message. Kelly: let's assume no. We've never been able to get it together previously. Cathryn says: can we just add that if it's contentious, we can expire people? Danny says: no, because that wouldn't fix things. Tom suggests a committee, to rewrite it. Kelly quoted Danny's suggestion. Tom said he would like to rewrite it. He will email nb-discuss to see who else would like to get involved. Revision of bylaws. Danny explained that the bylaws are kind of weirdly different from our actual practice (we don't not comply with them, but their definitions are different from the definitions we use on a day to day basis.) Kelly is more worried about the powers that the board has in the bylaws, and the fact that Noisebridge is generally uncomfortable with ideas like "President". Tom asked how do we change the bylaws, and what are the legal consequences. Danny says that the bylaws suggest a majority of members voting would be sufficient. We could do that at the 2013 AGM. Tom suggests as he always does that we form a committee. Danny suggests it be a huge monster committee including the membership expiration thing. Kelly suggests that the committe be named the policywonks committee. Danny suggests referring this to the committee itself. Tastebridge is HAVING A BOWL CRISIS. They are buying bowls, so people should tell Tastebridge what they want.
