===Proposal to create an Associate Member role and limit access to Noisebridge 24/7 to Member, Associate Member and thoes hosted by M and AM===


(Consensed Text)
A new Tier of Membership to Noisebridge shall exist, called Associate
Member.  People can become Associate Members through the normal
membership process.  Associate Members are not required to contribute to
Noisebridge financially, only to "contribute regularly" to Noisebridge.


There shall be a new tier of membership, called an Associate Member. An associate member shall have all the rights and privileges of membership except that an associate member shall not be entitled to full participation in the consensus process. The process for becoming an associate member shall be the same as the process for becoming a member, except that four sponsors shall be required instead of two, and that it shall not require the consensus of Noisebridge for a person to become an associate member, but that the consensus of Noisebridge may reject an application for a person to become an associate member.
Associate Members, while present, can host non-members in the space just
like Full Members. But Associate Members cannot block consensus like
Members.


Noisebridge's space shall be open only to members and associate members at any time. A member or associate member may at any time invite a person into Noisebridge and host that person at Noisebridge as long as that member or associate member remains at Noisebridge. No other person shall be permitted at Noisebridge at any other time.
  Also the policy of Noisebridge as a space open only to Members and their
 
guests shall be changed to 24 hours a day instead of 23:00 to 10:00.
Neither members nor associate members shall be required to pay membership dues as a condition of such membership.
This means that at any time, a person who is without a live sponsor in
 
the space can be told that if they cannot find a new live sponsor

promptly they should pack up and come back another time, perhaps Tuesday
 
night.
