== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==

=== Suspend Robin ===
This item reached consensus without objection. Nobody chose to stand aside.

=== Banning RAYC ===
Strong opinions were expressed. We agreed to ban RAYC for six months from the date of this meeting (until 2014-09-12). [[user:Thex|JC]] stood aside. We postponed discussion of a permanent ban.

=== Publish council member list in git repo ===
We discussed this item but did not reach consensus. We will continue discussion at a subsequent meeting

=== Banning Josh ===
We had a very long discussion. Two of the three people who had volunteered to speak with Josh were present and participated. We reached consensus. [[User:bfb|Kevin]], [[user:Thex|JC]], and [[User:James|James]] stood aside.

== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] ==
There were no new consensus proposals

= Discussion Notes =

=== Consensus process limitations ===
This was a continuation of our discussions of the problems exposed by the banning of Lee Sonko. We agreed that it is difficult to predict at which meeting will see discussion of which proposals, and at this is unreasonably inconvenient for those who cannot regularly attend meetings. We would like to solve this problem by having a process to predict at which future meetings a proposal will be elegible for consensus.

There were several proposals for different procedures to produce this outcome. We agreed that their authors should write them down, so that we can evalute them more easily.

=== Gregory Dillon ===
This was a short discussion. We firmly agreed that there is no reason why Gregory should not feel welcome to come to Noisebridge.

=== Publish council member list in git repo ===
Tom expressed the same planned procedure that he expressed at previous meetings. There was some discussion of the balance between individual privacy and a transparent decision-making process.
