''(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''


* Tom proposes that we recommend to the board that they select [[user:malaclyps|Danny]] to be Treasurer, [[user:flamsmark|Tom]] to be Secretary, and [[user:snail|Snail]] to be President for 2013.
== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] ==
* It is proposed that Shawn Landden ([http://imgur.com/vxaV6Ms photo]) is barred from Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community. (Here is some [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-March/034833.html context].)
''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''
* Tom proposes that we reimburse Mitch up to $1000 to replenish our t-shirt supply.
<blockquote>We are currently out, except for a handful of women's sizes.  It would be great to have a bunch before the fund-raiser party on the 30th.  I (Mitch) am happy to front the money if there are no objections -- to be paid back to me upon consensus (to ensure that we can have the T-shirts before the fund-raiser).  All of our T-shirts have previously been printed locally at East Bay Screenprint.  The last time we got T-shirts, we got 200 of them at $7.41 each (including shipping) -- total = $1,481.63.  If we buy 50 T-shirts, the cost is $8.74 each (indluding shipping) -- total = $437.00.  (I've never bought 100 before, but the price will be somewhere in between.) -- [[User:Maltman23|Mitch]].</blockquote>

We had an extensive discussion of Shawn Landden's violent and unacceptable behavior. A written deposition was submitted, compiling a compendium of witness and survivor statements.
