How to become a member of Noisebridge

1. fill out top third of the form
2. put the form in the binder
3. each meeting, there is a standing agenda item to read the applicants out of the binder
4. a month passes, during which the applicant gets 2 sponsors to sign their form
5. after this month, the applicant is approved by the general membership.  at that point they fill out the bottom
third of the form.  It is perfectly acceptable to postpone the approval until the next meeting (or the next, etc) .
6. the new member gives the Treasurer their dues, and the Secretary the form
During the month, anyone can look in the binder at the names.  If an existing member has a problem with one of the applicants,
they should take time during that month to try and resolve the problem.  They may ask another member to be a proxy for them to
either help resolve the problem (preferred) or to voice their objection at the approval meeting.


The membership form may be downloaded here. There are also copies at the space. The binder is located (TBD).

How to leave Noisebridge

(This may be as simple as just letting the Secretary know; there's a legal requirement that has not been fully researched yet.)

How to remove a member of Noisebridge

(TBD - there's a lot of legal requirements around this.)
