Block any of 3 proposals. $1000 for t-shirts. Renew the lease. Anti-harrassment policy.
No, have concerns with spending $1000 given current financial state.

No, witness a decrease in harrassment incidents since policy in place.

=== Ban Dante ===
Scribbled over bathroom mural http://imgur.com/a/Ye6mW
Aggressive when asked to leave (twice)
Why is Dante behaving the way he is? Mental issues? Drugs? More information before asking to leave?
maybe he's just a jerk
seems perfectly lucid
Will come back for discussion next week. Dante should not come to Noisebridge until the meeting next week.
=== Ban Dan ===
Pattern of verbal abuse against Al, repeated and getting more aggressive. A safety issue.
Dan has asked Al to leave in the past. Al asked Dan to leave. Dan left and Al did not.
Al has said things that are untrue. Dan "melted down" at meeting last week.
Dan feels verbally abused by Al. Dan alarmed with Al's impact on Noisebridge psyche env.
> Did not swear, did leave just after Dan left.
> When some raises a safety concern, should disregard
>> Dan empathizes with Als safety concern
Dan helps on polyglotte, could not harm a fly
Sometimes people just don't get along, cannot ban people because you do not get along
Witnessed Dan instegate when lockers going up, Dan's behavior inappropriate. Should apologize.
Dan apologizes for his meltdown at meeting last week. Dan feels provoked.
Dan has a pattern of escalating conflict. Should be resolved.
Mediation?
What is the minimum level of civility for Noisebridge to feel safe and secure. Outbursts like at lastweeks meeting frighten people.
Norman and Madalynn volunteer to mediate.
Will come back for discussion next week. Dan should not come to Noisebridge until the meeting next week.
== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==
=== Contribution to Noisebridge ===
TEXT:
It is the responsibility of all users of Noisebridge (guests,  Members, and Associate Members) to contribute to Noisebridge as they are  able. An individual's contribution should be proportionate with that  person's use of Noisebridge and its resources. A reasonable monetary  contribution from a member or associate member may be $80 per month, but  it is each person's responsibility to determine what contribution is  reasonable for them. 
Affirmation does not need consensus
> Reduces confusion
Should address the credibility of the initial proposal that abolished member dues
Noisebridge needs memberdues to survive
> the rate at which we are losing money is the lowest that it has ever been
> membership dues are not a large protion of Noisebridge's income
==== Consensed with 3 stand asides ====
=== amendments during consensus process === 
In order to validly pass the consensus process, proposed consensus items  will be written down on the Current Consensus Items wiki page the day  of the meeting they are introduced. Only this exact wording of the  proposed consensus item can be consensed on at the next week's meeting.  Any change, even small ones, to the wording will be considered a  different and new consensus proposal and will require another week  before it can be consensed on. The spirit of this proposal is to prevent  changes (small or radical) to consensus items being made and consensed  on without notice to the larger community. 
Amend:
In order to validly pass the consensus process, proposed consensus items must be recorded on the Current Consensus Items wiki page before 24 hours have passed after the end of the meeting in which they are introduced. The text so recorded should exactly match the text discussed during the meeting. Only this exact wording of the proposed consensus item is elegible for consensus at the next week's meeting. Any changes --- even small ones --- to the wording will be considered a   different and new consensus proposal and will require another week before it can be consensed on. The spirit of this proposal is to  prevent  changes (small or radical) to consensus items being made and  consensed  on without notice to the larger community. 
==== Proactivly deferred to next week ====

=== Audio Stream Meetings ===

TEXT:
That the Tuesday Meeting be streamed in audio when possible, with the  aim of encouraging online involvement. By the consensus of those  present, the meeting may be limited to those in the space for privacy  reasons. The responsibility for streaming will be that of the secretary.
Privacy concern, will preclude some from participating

> let's make it easier for the people that we like to participate

> audio only, streamed and not persisted
Should be at space to participate in meeting

> Some people cannot, EX sick, too many KMs away, 
How will thoes tuning in participate? IRC, troll-proof conference call?
Could try this without consensus

> More likely to happen if consensed
More people, more noise

> Have seen this run well in the past with 200+ people consensus decision

> Zakim a good solution? http://www.w3.org/2001/12/zakim-irc-bot.html
