= Short announcements and events =
'''60-second description per item in bulletpoint.'''

Steve - Omni commons was having a work party. They're our sister hackerspace in Oakland, in decrufting mode in past 4-5 mo. When it happens, I'll yell at you to go.
Sophia - let's do bookshelves stuff.
pyconaut - neurotech sf hack nights are thursday night from 6-9 PM, will happen at NB again soon. Brought in 2x4s for project help.
pyconaut - interactive art experience at gray area opened a few weeks ago, i helped work on it, lot of other nb/sudo room/bay are artists worked on it very fun.

= Excellence =
'''Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.'''

sophia - NB has a lot of neurodivergent ppl, so ppl can get prickly. Take care of how you interact with people. No hierarchy, just be friendly (don't be a jerk). It's the "one rule" because most of the other rules can be broken given the right circumstance. Don't bring drama.

romi - like respecting boundaries

dave - promoting the future of the space, keeping it running

sophia - all the people working on laser cutter
romi - blender class is excellent

(What does that mean? How does the Anti-Harassment Policy fit into this? Are we SURE we know what being Excellent is? This is an important and fundamental conversation at Noisebridge, so let's give it like 120 seconds.)
steve - let's talk about the anti-harassment policy. What does it mean?
romi - respect boundaries
TJ - maybe we could bring out the anti-harassment policy and read it?
ryan - {reads out the anti-harassment policy}
If you want to read it, visit https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Anti-Harassment_Policy*

Steve - any comments?

Lobi - That's about the best written thing on that I've ever heard
pyconaut - It took us 5 months to write that!

Steve - I haven't heard it discussed in meetings, would like to bring it up again

Lobi - dropping hints, a female might not want to reject overtly, but will make hints they're not available. respect that as a "no". It's just trying to be polite. Relationship of gender is irrelevant. Some ppl can't take hint, if you can, please do.

Dave - not sure if explicitly covered, if someone is harrassing another Noisebridger outside space, ban the harrasser to make the victim more welcome

pyconaut - even if you see someone in an awkward situation, please help the person, because everyone here is fam. If you see something, say something. If not, find someone who is able to speak on your behalf or you feel comfortable speaking out with. It's understandable to ask someone to leave. Please look out for each other

Mark - bringing objection offline, very minor and understand spirit.

= Participation =
'''Everyone at Noisebridge is a participant at Noisebridge.'''

(What does that mean? How do you get a door key? Access to Slack, Discuss, etc?)

Steve: everyone is a participant at NB. New people who walked in have jsut as much power, how do you get access?
dave: anybody c na sign up for discuss. anyone can sign up for discord/matrix (link on our website). We have a slack that's invite-only. If you're around for a few days, easy to get on slack. Somebody can let you into the space pretty much every day now. If you've gained some trust you can get 30 day access from a Member. You just need a clipper card.

Steve: anyone else?

Les: Are all communications on one page?
sophia: probably, but who knows what it is.
NOTE: (Discord / Slack can read all)
Les: I found this link that seems to have all communication mediums in sidebar except discord: https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Noisebridge
But no instructions to join.

pyconaut : can also participate by taking or teaching a class. Helping others by helping or starting projects

= Do-ocratic Task Board =
Participation also means doing stuff to contribute to the space. Pick some tasks from github, from what needs to be done around you, or whatever, and see if someone will sign up to work on that task. Anyone can sign up and it's a great way to show you are contributing!

dave: let's check up on the tasks from last week

Review previous tasks:

* Set up and test the laser cutter!! Corrie, Lovi, also Broccoli, Adrian
* Emergency lighting! Loren
* Clear upstairs hallway: Sophia, Ronald (maybe?)
* Where should our electrical outlets be! TJ, Maybe also Loren?
* Big green industrial snap setter thingies! (Ryan L)

Doorbell Loren and TJ
Organize hackshelves - Ronald

Laser cutter progress since last week:
Lobi - Liz manifested this huge "manual", tried to follow up on each step of process for getting started. Created a plan that needs some modification of getting vent to ceiling. Original ideas was to create setup with one fan outside and pipe inside, so you can connect with aluminum piping. Might need to be raised more than I hoped. TJ and I moved the laser cutter, then gathered all supplies over there. May be still missing grounding cable and another cable. Last night, brocoli and I fleshed out the fans, tested different fans. Big green one is huge, avoid doing that. brocoli says not enough, adrian says enough. There may be a lot of crap inside. Do we have permission to screw in wall (from exterior)? (yes) one of those would be most excellent. One connection would be enough.
Several pipe raising straps, rain protection costs $25. brocoli and I fleshed out problems with chiller, got it working to do a test pulse, draft run for calibration. Got laser to go through end, calibrated for several hours, got it to middle and front. brocoli got it to fire pinhole. I can't believe it, but laser focused beams and created pinhole. Adrian found problem with step up transformer.

Adrian: we have new connector, connector has wrong parts, can hack it. Could bypass faulty transformer.

Lobi: might need anemometer to get it right if not sucking enough, need to waterproof at least one outside fan (preferrably no outdoor fan at all).

Lobi: We're at point where we need to set up workstation. I talked to Chris, previous Member, Chris said they knew previous workstation, could not find it here. We need to have a laser training meeting, to train everyone. Have a ton of materials, playing secretary to it right now. Could someone please bring in a paper scanner? (follow up offline regarding scanner)
Replace distilled water in chiller, need shelving materials

Dave: quickly Ryan from stack, then fineline again.
Ryan: I'll talk afterward.

Steve: Jared, you did work on laser cutter in old space

Jared: we just used monster fan, and that was it. We only had 30 feet to window to vent, though

Adrian: This also seems to be a temporary setup, because more permanent solution needs to be a lot of work

Dave: Emergency lighting? Yes!

Dave: Upstairs hallway

Sophia: Moved all weird metal shelving with connections, accessible but out of way. If you want it, you can come get it, but not visible to public eye.

Shelving left is solid metal, which laser people want, so bring down there.
ideally, bring sheld downstairs, put books in shleves, everything will look super nice

Lobi : Abdel volunteers woodworking effort

Adrian: i have some shelving that's way too big for my workshop, could I donate?

Dave : take picture, show on slack

Dave :

Electrical Outlets
TJ: i took a bunch of pictures of where they could go. planning on stickering them tonight.

davE: we have two giant big industrial snap setters in the corner.

Sophia: could we donate to ewaste pla
ryan: the neighbor knows a place where we can donate the scrap metal.
pyconaut : best to donate them assembled, as theoretically more valuable, but we should do the easiest thing
Sophia: if you have specific place lmk

Loren: I like mentioning over assigning
Sophia: want
Mark: CAn we volunteer? (yes)

Dave: Does anyone want to volunteer to make
Loren: yep
TJ: i can

Mark: I'm going to volunteer to fix the toilet
steve: Yeah!!!

pyconaut: planning to replace downstairs toilet because it is awful.

Mark: communicate offline

ryan: if we're doing the toilet, and want to do tiling, tiling should be done before the toilet, if you want to make it nice.
Relay: Do we need new tiling?
dave: it's worth minimal effort to make a more welcoming restroom.
Dave: Does anyone want to sort through hack shelves (pulling out item, see if useful, etc.)
ronald: i could do some of that. there are some items that belong in other rooms and i can sort em out.
Dave: {pointing out the hack shelves} All the ones on left and right, except top shelf
Adrian: Top shelves are individual, bottom is communal.
Sophia : We could also go through top shelf

Dave: does anybody wanna work on refurbishing the telepresence/jitsi machine for use?
Relay: *raises hand* (also, it seems TV is broken)
dave: we want it to be easy for someone who doesn't know anything to start a meeting.
relay: we might need to replace the TV
dave: maybe we could replace the HDMI
relay: it's not producing a signal
Dave: should we assign more ? (no)

Example tasks:
* Collect all the trash in the space into the large bins on Sunday night!
* Document how one of the 3D printers works on the wiki, print out QR code linking to it & tape it to that printer!
* Find us a plumber to fix the toilet and hang out with them in the space while they fix it (Perhaps organizing an entire toilet replacement workshop!)

= [[Philanthropist|Philanthropists]]=
'''A Philanthropist at Noisebridge has earned enough trust from the community to open and close the space.'''

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Philanthropists? How do you become one? etc)

steve: there are two classes of members at nb. philanthropists and members.

relay: philathropist is someone who has shown themselves to be responsible for someone. often they pay a certain amount of money. they need to be sponsored by a member, they get 24 hour access as part of that.

Steve: any other comments

sophia; need to show up at the first meeting to present first meeting

Les: I will officially apply tonight, have been around nb and sduo room.

Steve: I'll sponsor you

*commotion to get application to Philanthropy*

Dennis bishop, here last week, not here this week, any sponsors? (no)

Next is dane michael, Liz sponsors them (old)

{going through old applications}

corrie: i got philanthropized last week but i didn't complete the process, so what did i do.

steve: $80 a month, or $40 for starving hackers. Really negotiable, set up a monthly thing.
Sophia: Go to @themanmaran on Slack (Tyler)

Dave: easiest thing is to set up Patreon (but it takes 10%)
Sophia: Slack themanmaran

Sophia: if your Company has benevity, that's also good.

Les: Is there any witnesses or such?

Steve: No, just sponsor me)

pyconaut: How will you use newfound powers to take over NB?
les: my main motive for applying is that i moved to the mission. i can add more open hours, close and open the space, potentially hosting classes (though not 100% on that).

Lovi: what classes would you teach
les: potentially ML stuff
TJ: let's talk offline about that – i'm trying to get an RL thing going.

Steve: you're now a Philanthropist Les!

Steve: Same convo, $80 a month, or $40 if no money, just contact themanmaran.

Sophia: Since you're not on slack, could you DM me after?

Loren: Brief announcement: any key can get in or out of gate, need a key to get out. I propped the door in a way that forced someone to undo it.

Dave : Good time to let ppl know of back emergency exit

Steve: That's it for philanthropists

= [[ Membership Binder ]] =
'''Membership in Noisebridge entails community Trust in Consensus.'''

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Members? How do you become a Member? etc)

steve: relay is the newest Member, explain what membership is
relay: members are people who are trusted in the community, need at least two other members to sponsor them. they can sponsor philanthropists. generally means you're a trusted member of the community and help to elect the board. if there's a big c consensus item, you get to veto, though generally that means you're really really admant about something and want a change in a proposal.

Steve: anyone else?

Jared: You're making public commitment to keep NB running, perpetuate space. Don't feel uncomfortable asking a Member about projects, as they are interested in maintaining at space.

Tyren: As member, you are aware that this is community owned. If you want something to be done, do something for it and to help space.

mcint: We hope that everyone who comes space has values, upholds the values of the space. Ask the community to be good stewards of the space.

dave: an important part of doocracy is taking responsibility for the things you do. letting people know, documenting it, etc.

Steve: Any more comments? (no) moving on to next section (as there are no new members)

= Financial Report =

```

Nearly 50%
Expense is $12,000 , income is around $5-6k. More philanthropists means more money, so that's good

== Fundraising Update ==
'''How's it all going'''

Nothing

= Consensus =
'''Consensus is how the Noisebridge Membership may change how Noisebridge works.'''

(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)

ryan: there are 2 types of conesnsus at nb. small-c and big-c. small-c is just asking people in the space if somethings alright to change. these are generally small changes: moving tables, installing something, etc. generally easay to reverse.
big-c consensus are items that really change how nb as an entity functions. examples include moving, buying something really expensive, need to be formally proposed at a meeting and discussed at multiple meetings thereafter. if any big m member blocks an item, the item is tabled or dropped. once the proposal goes through consensus, it's pretty hard to un-pass. generally they are forever: give it that amount of weight when you make it.
or put a limit on how long consensus item lasts, which we've been doing lately

== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==
''(Add any items which are consensed upon or someone has raised a principle objection for to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''

== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] ==
''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''

Sophia: two new consensus items, let's discuss at end of meeting, as it will take a while

= Discussion =

== Discussion Item 1 ==
tj: while i was away, went to a hackerspace in arizone, pre-pandemic their membership was about 1000. talked to them about how they started and kept it together. wrote down some ideas that i might bring up.

== Discussion Item last: X ==

2 consensus items: We have had a lot of conflict by a member of many names, most commonly X

We have 2:
- Suspend X's membership indefinitely
- Ask X to leave the space for 1 year.

This is not something we take lightly, X has contributed a lot, but we have important reasons for doing this. We've had a lot of conflict with X in the past. Short summary to give context:
- When NB closed in march 2020, july 2020 moved to new space, elected Dan and X as stewards of new space (which until May was just boxes). They made sure no rats or robbers. X may have imo a paternal complex of the space, and had some conflicts when opening. Most were anodyne. Ended up being more conflicts over time. Took mic from host during 5mof, many such confilcts with TJ, Liz and I. Ended up bringing rusty huge scale into space, literally hundreds of routers stored in cupboard. But now there are other uses for the space. Had special office (locked) for his own items in the back. Went to Denmark for September. When he came back, did two things:
1. An issue with Ronald. Ronald was philanthropized, after contributing to space recently, so X didn't know him. X changed locks and was hesitant to let Ronald into the space. Ronald has as much right to be there as anyone else, espeically considering the trust we put in.
2. CAmeras. In pandemic, it was reasonable. But imo it was around for too long, so they were put down. Recently, X put them back and uploaded to Jitsi. X doesn't use legal name, as is his right, so he should know better. We have invited him to mediation a week or so ago, but no response.
We've attempted to reach him for three weeks on various chat systems, texting and any other methods. Nothing has worked. He hasn't come to a meeting in months.
Even in person confrontation has not worked.
(note: X has been attending many meetings virtually, just not commenting or giving an introduction)
We think it's important to prevent X from being inside the space, as well as de-memberize X. We are not banning him permanently.

Steve: A lot of things have been grating on me since May, but I let it slide. x wanted no more Members , re-Memberize everyone. But it was because of a very special circumstance, it seemed audacious to m

tj: there was also an attempt to make this known to him in person, through Ronald, but this has not worked either.

lovi: i as a new person was there. i've come and he didn't want to let me in. he only let me in because he didn't (?). he then sets me up with a chore doing cleaning and he just watche sme. the gate-keeping was real and awkward. this kind of gate-keeping very much did happen. no excuse. he told me in particular the cameras were not going online. from what i understand there is evidence they were. i can forgive someone for lying with context and apoligies, and with surveiling with context.

Please speak into mic. Cannot hear

Les: If not storing the data, there is logical case where it's possible

Sophia: it's not really okay, as the Jitsi was open to Internet

Dave: if it was not public, it was at least his, as he was VNC remoted

James: Streaming was on a public channel.
james: please add things to the chat instead of the notes because no one else can hear these.
k... notes are what end up printed and published, not chat. so rather leave here. sorry for inconvenience
it's fine. sry idk not clear what best remote interaction is.

Ryan: add a few specific c. the backroom was locked with everyone's authority. No one had ever brought it to attention that they needed access to that. I didn't know about this situation specifically. I would currently block item on being de-Membered, but open to changing opinion on that point. This has been done before with many people. He had permission to have the cameras on when the space was closed. but he didn't have permission to have them on when there were people to be in the space.
Having new cameras stream to Jitsi is enough for extended leave. Everything, which is more egregious, like gatekeeping and harrassment, is definitely grounds to ask to leave

Steve: you said two things. I block this, and I'd be willing to have my mind change. wrt having your mind changed do we have to do it in this session: or is it fine to do it offline.

pyconaut: I'm fine talking offline, and waiting to block.

Steve: we're going to proceed with the consensus item this week, and make sure to come here next week pyconaut if you want to block it.

Dave: Also look forward to changing your mind. Would like to add couple notes.
- We cold make consensus item conditional on future mediation, successful mediation attempts. in 3-4 months, if X is willing to talk to us, clear misunderstanding, etc. I'm open to possibility. I think it should be included in consensus item. I want to point out clear violations of anti-harrassment policy, like literally silencing someone during a meeting. We sohuld follow through with that.

Jared: Do you do ask to leave now? Has X been formally asked to leave?

TJ: as i understand danny has said that to X. Then X said "oh i'm going to Denmark".

adrian: but i believe the ask to leave rules include going to mediation, and until the issue is resolved in mediation they're not allowed to go back.

"Harassment includes recording"
Noisebridge Anti-Harassment Policy
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Anti-Harassment_Policy

adrian: if you're asked to leave you're not allowed to come back

jared: Has he been asked

TJ: we can't get him to talk at all to ask to leave. maybe it's not intentional but he comes at 7-8 in the morning and leaves by 12.

Sophia: We started the shed system late, so a lot of people have keys.

ryan: i think it's better to do this formalized style of ask to leave than just ask to leave. In the past, people have just been coming back at different times. Not everyone will know about the ask to leave situation or whatever. Also, extended ask to leaves do generally work. We've had 4 extended ask to leaves in the last 5 years. By the time they're done the people have become more excellent and are more

we will probably have to do an 86 if this keeps happening, which can be overturned, but takes much longer and is harder to reverse.

Mark: dave said what I wanted to say, if we explicitly say a year, we should allow ability to go back.

Dave: Feel better about 86 for a year if we allow backdoor for mediation?

Mark: yes

Ryan L: There have been two ultimatums but it hasn't gotten out.

TJ: a little over a week ago i had two posts, asking X to move his stuff out of the space and also a written ultimatum, please talk with us. along with all the stuff that sophia mentioned, there has been no response. i asked ronald to at least mention it to him so that X is aware. ronald has done this. basically stonewalling/arguing against it. that it's not his fault. that he sort of refused.

Ryan: the burden is now on other people to deal with this.

Mark: I wnat to stress that we as nb are a family, x has been part of this for a long time. as a family we don't give up on any one of us. we don't know how much time he needs to sort out their shit. i understand people are getting impatient, and that's ok, but i think it's very important to let them come back and join the conversation whenever they want to. ultimatums are whatever.

TJ: because i have not been successful getting in touch with X, I did talk to Dan, who has been helpful talking about mediation. I'm unsure of what Dan reads of X's situation other than he's stressed out. we're trying to work on something there.

Corrie: I agree we should try everything, but we might be justifying behavior

Evil Dan: Thanks. Could I ask somebody to repeat what was just said. Thank you for doing this. this is an important process to have. to be able to handle difficult personalities and power tripping. that said, x has really done this to himself with the stonewalling up to this point. i'm here to tell you that he has good reasons to let me do the talking tonight. i'm pretty comfortable with how things are going. anybody willing to have a private conversation with some respect for privacy, boundaries, and all that stuff. we're definitely looking for mediation. i haven't been able to talk to him up until yesterday. spent a couple y and a few today. up until this point i was just like... i've had words with x on and off for a while. i possibly put him up to a few things. i trained him wrong, as a joke. but lately i've checked out. not dealing with nb. not really dealing with x's stuff at nb either. have not been talking. he's not been in a condition.

Sophia: May I inquire why?

dan: not here, but yes. he's stressed. he's just absolutely devastated. he deserves to be, up to a point, but the lack of communication is adding to everything that's led up to this point. some of that's on me, like yeah i'm not going spend my weekend in hostage negotiation mode. that's where we're at. sorry i left it for everyone to see. this is good stuff this is classic epic nb. gotta apppreciate what mark said. you could table it and be glad you did, you could keep going. alex, your name was mentioned as someone X would feel comfortable with. maybe you and i could talk. wouldn't it be great if nb had a better handle on mediating. I don't stick my neck out for aholes, and X is an ahole. really annoying to be around sometimes constantly stimming with static from a walkie-talkie, probably more on the spectrum than whatever personality disorders are blowing up in your face*rant rant rant* . Not a full-blown narcissist , could be nudged in the right direction. Not trying to be a mediator, don't have temperament, but still willing to advocate for him, advocating for mediation, and for noisebridge. X has some comeuppance, has explaining to do. Has done explaining, need to hear him out. This venue does not work. Happy to talk more later, don't take personally, really appreciate how ppl handling things, hope this helps.

Jared: Hey dan, good to hear you on the phone. probably would be excellent to let him know , if you get in touch, while this is good to sort out, would be excellent to not come to space, but schedule it in case that does happen.

Dan: Let's make that a hard line. Only interaction will be scheduled, supervised. It's not about the stuff at this point. But let's deal with stuff, that's low hanging fruit. In terms of damage done to ppl who aren't comfortable, that's a line drawn. We could alll ask him to leave. People tell him that he's on thin ice. Welcome change of pace. Carrots, but sticks.. nah. Noisebridge can dish out punishment, I don't worry about group of ppl in the moment and ... (interrupted)

Alex: quickly in response to what dan said. if we don't have a person who's the point person for moderation, we should figure out who that would be. i've helped with other mediations in the past. might not be the best ultimate arbiter, i'm friends with x, this seems very different from the behavior i know from him.
We should bpick for mediation team. I'd be happy to pick the team. Everyone wants to hear from him. I'm willing to help, but have somebody else.

everybody ehre has really important concerns. i kind of agree with what mark said. i have strong positive feeling with what mark said. because this could happen to any of us. we could all have a mental health episode and be unable to communicate for a period of time. if there is an ask to leave consensus, goal is to have that to happen. seems crazy to ban someone for any period of time. someone should help us to get it done.

TJ: There is no one else. The list of people who are friendly with X and have been heavily involved (recently) in decisions in the space are mutually exclusive.

mcint: I'm going to keep myself short and to the point, only adressing new points. Can balance lots of considerations, this can be done offline. Point I bring up is institutional memory. I will yield my time and suggest we close stack. I want to say it all, want to respect other times.

Steve: 7 more people on stack. Anyone else

Les: I second institutional memory. This has happened before

n00b / lxpk : Clarify we shouldn't do anything other than now, just missing that there is a point of communication for mediation. At least have that person. X mentioned my name bc he could communicate with me. Not impartial, but getting communication process to start, I'm at least willing to start the process and hand off in the future

James: Good to hear people's thoughts. Following up on what's said earlier. I agree with stigma Dan said earlier, want a hard line, but want action taken. Already full weeks' discussion, so action can be taken. X has been following along and knows. Membership and 24-hour access are priveliges, not rights. X does not need this right now, he can coordinate with other people if he wants help in the space. He violated anti-harrassment policy by recording people, and being responsible for actions. Convo is just painful, block is silly.

DR Ryan: suggest the same thing. there hasn't been good faith or him meeting us in the middle. until this is all resolved, showing that he'll listen to other members and respect people's privacy, good to do something now.

DR pyconaut: With that comment, I rescind block on consensus to take away X's membership

Lobi: So first of all, Evil Dan said he would like to hear what corrie said. you have to draw the line somewhere. we can't continue certain behaviors. Family members do this all the time to other members. X has violated 3 anti-harrassment guidelines. If there is a case he is seeking mediation. As for institutional memory, he must follow these. As a big, burly white guy, he is exerting his power too much. He didn't let me in bathroom, wouldn't let me take off mask, said it's not okay to eat here. Other people have said he's manipulative, I felt that too. If X is neuroatypical and come, that's no excuse for using your power to manipulate. If he uses a small group of people to talk with, he can use his manipulative powers. He's not the victim, but the perpetrator

Adrian: i've known X for a while, haven't seen any of these recent incidents. feels like a different person than the X I knew, where my interactions were positive. Clearly things have changed in the space.

Dave: to be clear are you recommending yourself to be point man for mediation

Adrian: No, I won't

Mark: I'm happy to volunteer my services as needed (woo!). I have done so in the past

Steve: I've been ok with him too, but I have seen newer Noisebridgers get fed up with his activity. And Liz, who is an older noisebridger too, to be fair.

Adrian: I may not have known him enough

Ryan L: i got my point out in the direct response.

Sophia:
Bring up 2014 NB and Sudo Room banning

Suspend X's membership indefinitely until he goes through membership process again. nobody blocks. That goes on to next week

2. X should not come back to NB other than scheduled/supervised until mediation is resolved (i.e. removing stuff from the space)

Dan : suggested wording, all activity has to be consensual, scheduled and consented to.

can we write: 24 hour access and membership are revoked.

Dan : I don't think we should change the locks, we can trust him not to come.

lxpk: have it in effect now.

James: we can consense to remove 24-hour access and membership. I don't see why this has to drag on.

Steve: this is the first week in which Big-C consensus items have been proposed at the week.

James: anti-harrassment policy violated, so you can directly take action

Adrian: we can ban ppl without big-C consensus

Les: I like to see how this plays out. X is annoying

Sophia: We will ban X from space, indefinitely, until mediation is resolved.

***: We create a path to redemption. Needs to be structured for mediation.

Mark: I'm not losing any sleep over this, I suggest no one else do as well. For mediation, Dan, reach out to me if needed.

Dan: I will, but not tonight.

Dan: soften language without softening intent. Ask to leave, not ban.

Sophia: Fine, let's do it.

For the next 90 days unless explicitly renewed by fresh Consensus:
It is excellent to broach the subject of vaccination, whether by pointing at the sign, or asking the person if they are vaccinated. If people are unvaccinated they must not be let inside without very good reason. It is unexcellent to ask for vaccine cards unless there is a strong reason.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
0) Respecting recently updated city / state requirements for coronavirus safety: Noisebridge is temporarily closed for “business as usual” - limiting activities at 272 Capp Street to “Minimum Basic Operations” and (possibly permitted) construction. While details may change, for the near term safe to say no in-person events such as classes, tours, parties, etc. The city's current 10 PM to 5 AM curfew may apply - in general, we'll be preferring to schedule work during daylight hours anyway.(See https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order.pdf for details.)

1) Restricting the number of people indoors at 272 Capp Street to no more than 3 upstairs and 3 downstairs, and (as per current city requirement) mixing no more than 3 households total.

2) Relying on knowledgeable volunteers to coordinate efforts and facilitate safe working environment with good ventilation, distancing, and sanitation.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the space for more participants - especially ventilation and making good use of outdoor space. Also will need some specific signage and paperwork related to coronavirus precautions, as well as any permits required for construction - and deploying basic safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit lighting.

4) Expiring these coronavirus-related restrictions automagically unless re-consensed within 90 days after initial Consensus. Frequent review and revision is expected via discussion at weekly meetings going forward.

Continuing Meeting Remote Accessibility Beyond COVID-19

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

This information should include: 
a. Possible barriers and physical access information for the current physical space of Noisebridge
b. A point of contact for disabled people to ask questions specifically around disability and gaining access to Noisebridge (phone, email, etc. - more options the better).
c. Information on how to request disability accommodations to attend.

SF's cases are still [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/dak2-gvuj surging upward] and the Mission neighborhood is tied for the [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/bj8f-r6sy highest area for positive cases.] With the exceptions of:
1. Consensed temporary use only to make PPE / life-saving medical equipment (following the safety orders outlined by the Governer: https://covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-office-workspaces.pdf) 
2. Consensed moving to the new space (272 Capp Street) for Noisebridge's survival 
3. Emptying out personal belongings from the space (1 person at a time)

| Wait to Consense on staying or moving

Noisebridge should wait to consense on moving or not moving until after the community has had a chance to coalesce and have a meeting at Noisebridge in the interest of communal integrity and excellent process one way or the other.

The current situation is one of extreme entropy not business as usual. We are living through arguably the greatest crisis in living memory.
This might be the most important decision in Noisebridge’s history, not one to be taken hastily.
Several community members have voiced concerns about communication failures around Noisebridge’s real estate process thought the quarantine.
The meeting format has changed.
The meeting time changed.
And we are not able to have normal Noisebridge meetings at Noisebridge.
The board member primarily responsible for relations with the current landlord recently resigned.
Noisebridge has not sufficiently explored options at 2169 Mission St. given the drastically changed circumstances on planet and in the SF Real Estate market.
The situation improves to Noisebridge’s advantage if Noisebridge waits.
The community really wants to stay in its home but sees this as an unattainable ideal.

|Amendment to Special Lease Decisions Consensus Item from 3-6-2018
Real-estate decisions decided by board ratified by 24 hour notice special member consensus

Modified from 2018-03-06 consensus which worked to get a lease. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Consensus_Items_History)

Adds "building improvement decisions" to the list of decisions which board can initiate.

Real-estate decisions are time-sensitive and require an accelerated consensus process:

1. The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements,
building purchase negotiations, lease negotiations and building
improvement decisions in the interest of acquiring a suitable building
to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent
home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the
2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease and any related building
improvement decisions are completed at which time the measure will be
ended by a 24 hour Consensus.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information
stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on
the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss
mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase, lease or building improvement
decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be
called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on
the lease, building improvement or purchase decision. The meeting will
occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for
remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 4
channels described above and the pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting notes.

Ryan: Authorization should last a bit longer than the moment of a new
lease so that building improvements probably done after lease is
finalized can be decided. Some form of small C consensus or big C
consensus should decide when the item has ended in effect since it
likely will take 3-4 months before we become comfortable in the new
space. Also, add in more things related to each building improvement
so all will trigger a 24 hour special consensus period.

| Setting Hold positions for crypto currency
Noisebridge will never maintain more than 20% of it's total liquid assets (cash and equivalents) in crypto currency.

I am suggesting this in light of the $156,000 BTC donation from Kraken. Which brings our BTC to more than 50% of our current assets.

This check will be assessed quarterly (in line with fiscal quarters) and balances greater than 20% would be liquidated.

20% will be a maximum number, and not a target number. i.e. if we increase cash balances we will not buy crypto to maintain that ratio. It is just a measurement of our maximum acceptable risk.

* Noisebridge is currently negotiating a new lease, and it needs to be approved very soon,
*here is some info on the current discussion
*Tyler-One priority I have is removing the elevator clause from the lease. As it stands, NoiseBridge is responsible for 100% of the first $10,000 of repairs, and then 50% thereafter. There is no upper limit to the potential cost here. We are currently being billed $10,000 for the last elevator repair.
*Tyler-For the month of September, Brian has told us to continue to pay $6,500
*Tyler-My original request was a 5 year lease, same rate, without the elevator clause) but Brian was not interested.
*Tyler-His response was $7,250 to remove the elevator fee. I countered at $7.0k
*Tyler-He replied with $7,000 for a 2 year lease without the elevator cost.
*Tyler-I asked for more then 2 years. Brian responded with 3 years at $7,100 / month.
*Tyler-As it stands, I have countered with $7,000 for 2 years with a 2 year option at $7,250.

*Per Jarrod - it is really hard to justify large future costs (Zoning fee, sprinklers / second egress, etc.) if we are potentially limited by a short lease. I'd like to push for a longer term lease, but it would likely come with additional rent hikes.

*Looking for any and all opinions.

*
*I think we should decide whether to approve the board and treasurer to finalize and approve a new lease as soon as we get terms that are favorable to the general noisebridge community

[https://discuss.noisebridge.info/uploads/default/original/1X/3623c544753c732993b53a4104bc15a0f28e73d7.pdf Provisional Lease]

;Details
: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KKSp1VG-g Video Tour]

;Benefits
: 7,500 sqft (~50% increase from 5,200sqft at current)
: Ground floor entrance with garage door. ADA accessible. Concrete floors.
: Noisebridge would rent the entire building.
: Option to purchase (at $4.0mln startingin 2020 + 3.0% step up/yr thereafter) for the duration of the lease term.
: 2.5 blocks from current NoiseBridge location. No disruption in Mission community. Still easy access to BART.
: Cleaner block and sidewalk
: Early move-in clause provides free rent from lease-signing date till lease-start date of 8//1/2019

;Costs
: $10,000/mo for year 1.
: $1,000/mo rent step-ups per year (up to $13,000/mo in 4th year).
: Purchase option costs $10,000 first year, then $20,000 years 2 and 3.
: $1.33/sqft/mo is a good below market rate, but a $3,500/mo increase from our current location in first year
: Total cost for lease over 4 years: $552,000 + $50,000 in Options = $602,000
: Renovations are expected to cost $50,000 in the first year, broker fees and other licensing expected to cost around $10,000
: First year outlay: $205,000 = $120,000 in rent, $15,000 security, $20,000 fees and options, $50,000 renovations
: Note this is $80,000 above our current yearly revenue, meaning we will draw $80,000 from saving, plus any additional moving or unexpected costs, and does not cover any operating expenses like utilities and other

; Conditions
: <s>We need more expert guidance around the permitting and zoning of 668 Guerrero in order to make an informed decision.</s>

| Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

* Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
* On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
* toilet paper,
* broom,
* shelves/drawers,
* exterminator
* new bulb for projector,
* low-cost useful tools,
* reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

* Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
* Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.

The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immediately. After we spend that and get a sense of the likely monthly budget, we can make a consensus item to fill it up every month

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Noisebridge can serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects led by members of the Noisebridge community, accepting grant money and donations to our bank account and passing it along to the leaders of the projects, who will not be considered employees of Noisebridge.

All projects must be led by people who contribute or have contributed to the Noisebridge community in a meaningful way.

Projects must be in line with Noisebridge’s mission to promote and encourage technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education.

Projects that have a military purpose or police purpose, or intend to seek funding from any branch of the military or police, will not be accepted.

Project leaders must be comfortable with the Noisebridge community knowing how much money their project has on hand, since it will be read out at weekly meetings during the treasurer’s report.

We should subject project proposals to rigorous controls and close scrutiny, similar to membership applications. Every project proposed for fiscal sponsorship must be submitted for full Capital-C Consensus, with an executive summary posted online, and any member can block consensus without needing to propose an alternative.

New projects are expected to have specific time limits on the length of their fiscal sponsorship, such as six months to a year, at which point project managers must get consensus to extend fiscal sponsorship. Projects such as Noisetor which have been found to be successful over long periods may seek indefinite fiscal sponsorship.

Projects that violate Noisebridge's mission, accept military or police funding, spend money directly on political campaigns, operate as a for-profit enterprise, embezzle funds, or threaten Noisebridge's 501(c)(3) status will have their fiscal sponsorship automatically revoked. Fiscal sponsorship can also be revoked by consensus of the membership, excluding participants and recipients.

The administrative fee charged by Noisebridge for acting as a fiscal sponsor will be 5% of all money raised through donations and grants, the same rate charged to Noisetor, the first and so far only outside project fiscally sponsored by Noisebridge. This is the low end of what nonprofits charge for fiscal sponsorship and is intended to cover extra overhead costs Noisebridge is taking on.

Noisebridge does not have any paid staff and does not intend to hire any. We may, however, need to pay for additional legal and accounting services from contractors, which should be covered by the 5% administrative fee. Recipients of grant money and donations through fiscal sponsorship may be legally considered contractors of Noisebridge, depending on the amount of money raised and how it is used.

Any money left over from the 5% administrative fee after paying for legal and accounting services will go into Noisebridge’s general fund.

|Adopt an anti-harassment policy, and post it on the wiki and a place of prominence in the space; this policy is in a trial period until the THIRD WEEK OF JANUARY 2014, at which point it should be put up for consensus again to extend it / make it permanent:
"Noisebridge is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of people at our events or space in any form. Sexual language and imagery should be only be used for positive purposes in accordance with best practices advocated by professional sex educators (if you’re not sure what those are, don’t do it). People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge member.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. People asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately."

It is excellent to broach the subject of vaccination, whether by pointing at the sign, or asking the person if they are vaccinated. If people are unvaccinated they must not be let inside without very good reason. It is unexcellent to ask for vaccine cards unless there is a strong reason.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
0) Respecting recently updated city / state requirements for coronavirus safety: Noisebridge is temporarily closed for “business as usual” - limiting activities at 272 Capp Street to “Minimum Basic Operations” and (possibly permitted) construction. While details may change, for the near term safe to say no in-person events such as classes, tours, parties, etc. The city's current 10 PM to 5 AM curfew may apply - in general, we'll be preferring to schedule work during daylight hours anyway.(See https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order.pdf for details.)

1) Restricting the number of people indoors at 272 Capp Street to no more than 3 upstairs and 3 downstairs, and (as per current city requirement) mixing no more than 3 households total.

2) Relying on knowledgeable volunteers to coordinate efforts and facilitate safe working environment with good ventilation, distancing, and sanitation.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the space for more participants - especially ventilation and making good use of outdoor space. Also will need some specific signage and paperwork related to coronavirus precautions, as well as any permits required for construction - and deploying basic safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit lighting.

4) Expiring these coronavirus-related restrictions automagically unless re-consensed within 90 days after initial Consensus. Frequent review and revision is expected via discussion at weekly meetings going forward.

Continuing Meeting Remote Accessibility Beyond COVID-19

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Providing disability access information on the main website (noisbridge.net) in a clear and easy to access way.
This information should include: 
a. Possible barriers and physical access information for the current physical space of Noisebridge
b. A point of contact for disabled people to ask questions specifically around disability and gaining access to Noisebridge (phone, email, etc. - more options the better).
c. Information on how to request disability accommodations to attend.
d. A statement on Noisebridge's commitment to excellence via inclusion of people with disabilities

| Closing Noisebridge during the COVID-19 Pandemic

I am submitting the formalized closure of Noisebridge during [https://web.archive.org/web/20200602213809/https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/#sage-1 Stage 1] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20200602213809/https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/#stage-2 Stage 2] of the current COVID-19 pandemic. With [https://covid19.ca.gov/ 98,980 cases and 3,884 deaths] in California as of this writing, it is essential that Noisebridge stay closed in order not to further spread this virus in our communities. SF's cases are still [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/dak2-gvuj surging upward] and the Mission neighborhood is tied for the [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/bj8f-r6sy highest area for positive cases.] With the exceptions of:
1. Consensed temporary use only to make PPE / life-saving medical equipment (following the safety orders outlined by the Governer: https://covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-office-workspaces.pdf) 
2. Consensed moving to the new space (272 Capp Street) for Noisebridge's survival 
3. Emptying out personal belongings from the space (1 person at a time) 
I propose the physical location of Noisebridge (2169 Mission St.) be physically closed for all other functions. I support us to remain open virtually with classes, meetings, and other events happening online.

| Wait to Consense on staying or moving

Noisebridge should wait to consense on moving or not moving until after the community has had a chance to coalesce and have a meeting at Noisebridge in the interest of communal integrity and excellent process one way or the other.

The current situation is one of extreme entropy not business as usual. We are living through arguably the greatest crisis in living memory.
This might be the most important decision in Noisebridge’s history, not one to be taken hastily.
Several community members have voiced concerns about communication failures around Noisebridge’s real estate process thought the quarantine.
The meeting format has changed.
The meeting time changed.
And we are not able to have normal Noisebridge meetings at Noisebridge.
The board member primarily responsible for relations with the current landlord recently resigned.
Noisebridge has not sufficiently explored options at 2169 Mission St. given the drastically changed circumstances on planet and in the SF Real Estate market.
The situation improves to Noisebridge’s advantage if Noisebridge waits.
The community really wants to stay in its home but sees this as an unattainable ideal.

|Amendment to Special Lease Decisions Consensus Item from 3-6-2018
Real-estate decisions decided by board ratified by 24 hour notice special member consensus

Modified from 2018-03-06 consensus which worked to get a lease. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Consensus_Items_History)

Adds "building improvement decisions" to the list of decisions which board can initiate.

Real-estate decisions are time-sensitive and require an accelerated consensus process:

1. The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements,
building purchase negotiations, lease negotiations and building
improvement decisions in the interest of acquiring a suitable building
to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent
home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the
2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease and any related building
improvement decisions are completed at which time the measure will be
ended by a 24 hour Consensus.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information
stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on
the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss
mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase, lease or building improvement
decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be
called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on
the lease, building improvement or purchase decision. The meeting will
occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for
remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 4
channels described above and the pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting notes.

Ryan: Authorization should last a bit longer than the moment of a new
lease so that building improvements probably done after lease is
finalized can be decided. Some form of small C consensus or big C
consensus should decide when the item has ended in effect since it
likely will take 3-4 months before we become comfortable in the new
space. Also, add in more things related to each building improvement
so all will trigger a 24 hour special consensus period.

| Setting Hold positions for crypto currency
Noisebridge will never maintain more than 20% of it's total liquid assets (cash and equivalents) in crypto currency.

I am suggesting this in light of the $156,000 BTC donation from Kraken. Which brings our BTC to more than 50% of our current assets.

This check will be assessed quarterly (in line with fiscal quarters) and balances greater than 20% would be liquidated.

20% will be a maximum number, and not a target number. i.e. if we increase cash balances we will not buy crypto to maintain that ratio. It is just a measurement of our maximum acceptable risk.

* Noisebridge is currently negotiating a new lease, and it needs to be approved very soon,
*here is some info on the current discussion
*Tyler-One priority I have is removing the elevator clause from the lease. As it stands, NoiseBridge is responsible for 100% of the first $10,000 of repairs, and then 50% thereafter. There is no upper limit to the potential cost here. We are currently being billed $10,000 for the last elevator repair.
*Tyler-For the month of September, Brian has told us to continue to pay $6,500
*Tyler-My original request was a 5 year lease, same rate, without the elevator clause) but Brian was not interested.
*Tyler-His response was $7,250 to remove the elevator fee. I countered at $7.0k
*Tyler-He replied with $7,000 for a 2 year lease without the elevator cost.
*Tyler-I asked for more then 2 years. Brian responded with 3 years at $7,100 / month.
*Tyler-As it stands, I have countered with $7,000 for 2 years with a 2 year option at $7,250.

*Per Jarrod - it is really hard to justify large future costs (Zoning fee, sprinklers / second egress, etc.) if we are potentially limited by a short lease. I'd like to push for a longer term lease, but it would likely come with additional rent hikes.

*Looking for any and all opinions.

*
*I think we should decide whether to approve the board and treasurer to finalize and approve a new lease as soon as we get terms that are favorable to the general noisebridge community

[https://discuss.noisebridge.info/uploads/default/original/1X/3623c544753c732993b53a4104bc15a0f28e73d7.pdf Provisional Lease]

;Details
: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KKSp1VG-g Video Tour]

;Benefits
: 7,500 sqft (~50% increase from 5,200sqft at current)
: Ground floor entrance with garage door. ADA accessible. Concrete floors.
: Noisebridge would rent the entire building.
: Option to purchase (at $4.0mln startingin 2020 + 3.0% step up/yr thereafter) for the duration of the lease term.
: 2.5 blocks from current NoiseBridge location. No disruption in Mission community. Still easy access to BART.
: Cleaner block and sidewalk
: Early move-in clause provides free rent from lease-signing date till lease-start date of 8//1/2019

;Costs
: $10,000/mo for year 1.
: $1,000/mo rent step-ups per year (up to $13,000/mo in 4th year).
: Purchase option costs $10,000 first year, then $20,000 years 2 and 3.
: $1.33/sqft/mo is a good below market rate, but a $3,500/mo increase from our current location in first year
: Total cost for lease over 4 years: $552,000 + $50,000 in Options = $602,000
: Renovations are expected to cost $50,000 in the first year, broker fees and other licensing expected to cost around $10,000
: First year outlay: $205,000 = $120,000 in rent, $15,000 security, $20,000 fees and options, $50,000 renovations
: Note this is $80,000 above our current yearly revenue, meaning we will draw $80,000 from saving, plus any additional moving or unexpected costs, and does not cover any operating expenses like utilities and other

; Conditions
: <s>We need more expert guidance around the permitting and zoning of 668 Guerrero in order to make an informed decision.</s>
:: Current permitting issues put 2169 occupancy at risk for $92,000, though Perkins Coie is reviewing Pro-bono
:: Without clear plan to avoid fees, 668 Guerrero may be at similar, though lower cost, risk
: <s>Our Perkins Coie advisor will come back at the 6/18/2019 meeting to share her findings.</s>
: Noisebridge is reviewing current draft to make sure it is in line with Noisebridge Priorities
: The property value is struck at $4,000,000, and we should be sure that price is worth $50,000 in options.

| Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

* Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
* On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
* toilet paper,
* broom,
* shelves/drawers,
* exterminator
* new bulb for projector,
* low-cost useful tools,
* reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

* Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
* Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.

The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immediately. After we spend that and get a sense of the likely monthly budget, we can make a consensus item to fill it up every month

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Noisebridge can serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects led by members of the Noisebridge community, accepting grant money and donations to our bank account and passing it along to the leaders of the projects, who will not be considered employees of Noisebridge.

All projects must be led by people who contribute or have contributed to the Noisebridge community in a meaningful way.

Projects must be in line with Noisebridge’s mission to promote and encourage technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education.

Projects that have a military purpose or police purpose, or intend to seek funding from any branch of the military or police, will not be accepted.

Project leaders must be comfortable with the Noisebridge community knowing how much money their project has on hand, since it will be read out at weekly meetings during the treasurer’s report.

We should subject project proposals to rigorous controls and close scrutiny, similar to membership applications. Every project proposed for fiscal sponsorship must be submitted for full Capital-C Consensus, with an executive summary posted online, and any member can block consensus without needing to propose an alternative.

New projects are expected to have specific time limits on the length of their fiscal sponsorship, such as six months to a year, at which point project managers must get consensus to extend fiscal sponsorship. Projects such as Noisetor which have been found to be successful over long periods may seek indefinite fiscal sponsorship.

Projects that violate Noisebridge's mission, accept military or police funding, spend money directly on political campaigns, operate as a for-profit enterprise, embezzle funds, or threaten Noisebridge's 501(c)(3) status will have their fiscal sponsorship automatically revoked. Fiscal sponsorship can also be revoked by consensus of the membership, excluding participants and recipients.

The administrative fee charged by Noisebridge for acting as a fiscal sponsor will be 5% of all money raised through donations and grants, the same rate charged to Noisetor, the first and so far only outside project fiscally sponsored by Noisebridge. This is the low end of what nonprofits charge for fiscal sponsorship and is intended to cover extra overhead costs Noisebridge is taking on.

Noisebridge does not have any paid staff and does not intend to hire any. We may, however, need to pay for additional legal and accounting services from contractors, which should be covered by the 5% administrative fee. Recipients of grant money and donations through fiscal sponsorship may be legally considered contractors of Noisebridge, depending on the amount of money raised and how it is used.

Any money left over from the 5% administrative fee after paying for legal and accounting services will go into Noisebridge’s general fund.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Moderators: Dave B
September 21, 2021

* '''One or two bullet points of high-level meeting summary.'''

== Meeting Summary ==
* Fundraising Update
* Announcements:
* Finances:
* New members:
* New philanthropists:
* Consensus Items: vaccination requirement honor system consensed
* Discussion Items: open hours / 30-day access mode extended to 10 PM)

= Introductions =

* Dave B: electronics and code.
* Ryan S: he/him -- art install at gray area.
* Dan: I talk a lot.
* Nadeen: Setup chairs for meetings
* Josh:
* Relay: I install Linux on random machines for no reason
* TJ: I do 5mof
* Josh: NB meeting for over a decade now, enjoy taking things apart.
* Bryan: Hiding out in 3d printer room, does hardware and electronics stuff for the most part
* James: attending virtually

== misc. ==

= Short announcements and events =
'''60-second description per item in bulletpoint.'''

Ryan: Neurotech SF is, on Thursdays at 6pm. Look at the neurotech SF meetup. Wednesdays at 8pm are gamebridge. Online and in person now.

TJ: Saturday we're building the gate as well. Network setup on Sunday.

= Excellence =
'''Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.'''

(What does that mean? How does the Anti-Harassment Policy fit into this? Are we SURE we know what being Excellent is? This is an important and fundamental conversation at Noisebridge, so let's give it like 120 seconds.)

Ryan: Excellence is about caring for yourself, others, the space, and the community, it is about calling out when you see something wrong, and being available to help others. Being excellent can be doing things like taking out the trash, fixing a broken machine, cleaning up one of the areas, etc. As long as you follow the one rule, you will be welcome at noisebridge. We also have a Strict antiharassment policy, so if you are making people feel harassed through your actions, you will be asked to leave.

There have been many excellent people recently

= Participation =
'''Everyone at Noisebridge is a participant at Noisebridge.'''

(What does that mean? How do you get a door key? Access to Slack, Discuss, etc?)

There are many ways to participate at noisebridge, this includes taking a class, teaching a class, giving a presentation, using our equipment, etc. You can also do just about any project since we run on do-ocracy. But if you think that the action or project might disturb others, please go through small c consensus and ask the community before you take any actions. Once you come by for a bit and gain some trust from the community, you can ask for a 30 day access token which will get you in the noisebridge door from 10am to 11pm for 30 days (then it then needs to be renewed). You can also participate digitally through our different online systems- noisebridge slack (ask for access) noisebridge discuss https://discuss.noisebridge.info/ noisebridge wiki https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/ noisebridge meetup https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/ noisebridge discord https://discord.gg/tddK6NZ

Current 30 day time is 12 noon to 8

= [[Philanthropist|Philanthropists]]=
'''A Philanthropist at Noisebridge has earned enough trust from the community to open and close the space.'''

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Philanthropists? How do you become one? etc)

If you are a knowledgable member of the space you can apply to be a philanthopis which gives you 24 hour access, and requires you to know how to open and close the space, but you need a Big M member to sponsor you. It is also excellent if you donate between 40 and 80 dollar a month.

Once you come by for a while and have a lot of trust from the community, people might start asking if you want to become a philanthropist (you can also apply right away if you think the benefits are worth it). A philanthropist is the next trust level after daytime access (30 day token) usually in escalating participation. You get 24/7 access during non plague times, pay some money (40 to 80 dollars a month), you must know how to open and close the space, give tours, and introduce new people to the space. We want you to be able to help more people be able to access the space, and be excellent! To apply you get a big M Member to sponsor you, then you fill out a Philanthropy pledge and read all the associated materials, then you come to a Tuesday meeting to submit the application. During that meeting you will be questioned for a bit, and then if no one objects to you being a philanthropist, you will become one.

= [[ Membership Binder ]] =
'''Membership in Noisebridge entails community Trust in Consensus.'''

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Members? How do you become a Member? etc)

Relay: Everyone who comes here is a member, but there are some people who are big M members who can participate in blocking big C consensus items. But if that member blocks they should discuss it.

Members vouch for other members and for philanthropists. You need 2 members to sponsor you to to be up for

= Financial Report =
'''Anarchist societies under a capitalist state need money to survive and thrive, yo.'''

* Funds in bank: similar to last
* Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary):
* Any other details by those participating in handling our financials
* The latest financial reports from the treasurer are available at https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Finances

== Fundraising Update ==
'''How's it all going'''

No reports.

= Consensus =
'''Consensus is how the Noisebridge Membership may change how Noisebridge works.'''

(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)

All members need to agree for big C, it takes 2 weeks of no big changes or blocks.

consensus is the process by which things that can't be done through basic do-ocracy (things that affect others in the space.) It has two flavors, small c and big C. Small c consensus is the process where things that might cause slight issues in the space (events, big projects, moving rooms, etc), you just talk with the community before doing things. Big C consensus is the process by which actions are taken at noisebridge that are too big, too expensive, or too critical to be done by small c consensus. These are things like Moving, spending a lot of money, or doing legal bureaucratic garbage. This is a two week+ process where an item is proposed one week (if possible you should already have the item posted in draft consensus items, and the binder). At that meeting it will be discussed for a while, then the next week it will be discussed again, and if people feel confident, it will be brought up for consensus, and if no big M member blocks the consensus item it passes and becomes a Consensed item.

== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==
''(Add any items which are consensed upon or someone has raised a principle objection for to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''

Proposal:

For the next 90 days unless explicitly renewed by fresh Consensus:

[ ] adding to Consensed items. 2021-09-21t.
For the next 90 days unless explicitly renewed by fresh Consensus:
It is excellent to broach the subject of vaccination, whether by pointing at the sign, or asking the person if they are vaccinated. If people are unvaccinated they must not be let inside without very good reason. It is unexcellent to ask for vaccine cards unless there is a strong reason.

Discussion

Does this violate

pyconaut - this is why we worded this specifically : we don't want to breach privacy by showing cards / confirm id. It's on the person who asks. They ask, we trust them to say honestly, it is up to discretion. Vaccine cards are unexcellent, unless necessary (for example events). you don't need to even ask, just point to the sign. We are generally trusting of individuals.

JLB - Can I just point at the sign? (yes) ok thank you

pyconaut - There are medical issues, but this is a very rushed vaccine issue.

Dave - Are you saying that distrust of science is a qualifying reason

Ryan - No, I will get any vaccine, but my family is sceintists

Reily - I value privacy, but see it as means to an end to improve security within a community. Giving too much information through a bunch of bad actors for state surveillance, but safety here (for the immunocompromised and such, know vaccine reduces vulnerability) supercededs privacy concerns

TJ - nothing to add to that.

Nadine - we talked about this across multiple meetings so people can assess how they feel. Any comments, go to last week, talked at extreme lenghth. I'm sure it's been several hours of meetings.

mcint - we should have it in the meeting beginning

Dave - brocolli was the only block, rescinded with new wording

pyconaut - do we have quorum ? 3 members present. I do not block this.

It is worded so That it doesn't

Read

Dave B - OK. Ummmm anything else? Anything else? No. Any members blocking. We don't have enough members present. 1.2.3.

Ryan - do have enough members

Counting issues. *General discuss*

There are 3 members present

Dave B - ummmmmmm.. Going once, going twice, yaaayyy consensus.

No members block

pyconaut - need to move to Consensed Items page, with today's date.

James - did we have something we'd re-address in a few months.

Dave - It's 90 days. Do you have the meeting notes James? Can you read the way it's written to make sure you're ok (i.e. not blocking it)

CONSENSED (pending James' approval)
Got it. The wording is spaced apart a bit. Copy pasted 90 days line to beginning.

== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] ==
''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''

= Discussion =

== Discussion Item 1 ==
Extending open hours

Currently 12 to 8

pyconaut - do we think extending hours would get more people in the space? Do we have enough current Philanthropists at the space. doesn't matter if no Philanthropists present, opening hours hinge on Philanthropists being here (willing to let people in)

We should totally build a Space.api switch.
See this video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhgZyPl6p44
hackerspaces.org will help us! It is a simple way to notify the world of whether we are open or closed at any given moment. Also indexes alongside other spaces around the world!
Lots of info at https://spaceapi.io/how-to-use/

?<-speaker : I posted about this spaceapi thing, that will let ppl know when someone is here. Really easy to make. It is fun.
(literally wrote this above you! ^^)
(Just noting what was said. :D)

*general chaos around the jitsi server etc... *
*mumors (sp?)*
Also jitsi seems ok.

or 11 - 11? I guess like 11 - 9 those were the old hours...

we're open whenever people are here?
well "philanthropists"
What does saying "we're open 12-8" mean?
ppl with 30 day access tokens can open the door on their own then.
Ahhh, thank you.
yep. np np.

Dave - we mean all 30 day users, not just philanthropists

pyconaut - Oh ok, I meant any 30 day users.

Dave - I retract my argument

Relay: NB was always stochastic. It is ok for ppl to be around as long as they are excellent

JLB : I second that

pyconaut : I thought it meant anyone could come in

Dave : I don't think anyone is arguing that

So 10:00 PM extension? No objections?

END OF MEETING!

*All rejoicing*

== Discussion Item 2 ==

= End of Meeting =

==Note taker posts the notes==

* Clean and tidy the meeting notes including removing all these really verbose instructions.
* Fill out the short summary at the top listing just announcements, consensus items, discussion topics, and names of new members and philanthropists.
* Copy paste the notes to the next meeting page. (They will become Last meeting at midnight.)
* Email the meeting summary to Noisebridge Discuss and Noisebridge Announce lists.
* CC on the email treasurer@noisebridge.net and secretary@noisebridge.net if there are new members and philanthropists.
* Edit the Current Consensus Items if anything is proposed for consensus next week.
* Edit the Consensus Items History if anything was reached consensus or failed to reach consensus this week.

==Fun things to do after==

* Reprise of the [[Hackernationale]]. [This is anarchy - we do what the wiki says!]
* PGP Key Signing could happen now (if it doesn't happen before any given Meeting). Ask others around the space or check the list to see who wants in on the action.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
0) Respecting recently updated city / state requirements for coronavirus safety: Noisebridge is temporarily closed for “business as usual” - limiting activities at 272 Capp Street to “Minimum Basic Operations” and (possibly permitted) construction. While details may change, for the near term safe to say no in-person events such as classes, tours, parties, etc. The city's current 10 PM to 5 AM curfew may apply - in general, we'll be preferring to schedule work during daylight hours anyway.(See https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order.pdf for details.)

1) Restricting the number of people indoors at 272 Capp Street to no more than 3 upstairs and 3 downstairs, and (as per current city requirement) mixing no more than 3 households total.

2) Relying on knowledgeable volunteers to coordinate efforts and facilitate safe working environment with good ventilation, distancing, and sanitation.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the space for more participants - especially ventilation and making good use of outdoor space. Also will need some specific signage and paperwork related to coronavirus precautions, as well as any permits required for construction - and deploying basic safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit lighting.

4) Expiring these coronavirus-related restrictions automagically unless re-consensed within 90 days after initial Consensus. Frequent review and revision is expected via discussion at weekly meetings going forward.

Continuing Meeting Remote Accessibility Beyond COVID-19

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

This information should include: 
a. Possible barriers and physical access information for the current physical space of Noisebridge
b. A point of contact for disabled people to ask questions specifically around disability and gaining access to Noisebridge (phone, email, etc. - more options the better).
c. Information on how to request disability accommodations to attend.

With [https://covid19.ca.gov/ 98,980 cases and 3,884 deaths] in California as of this writing, it is essential that Noisebridge stay closed in order not to further spread this virus in our communities. SF's cases are still [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/dak2-gvuj surging upward] and the Mission neighborhood is tied for the [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/bj8f-r6sy highest area for positive cases.] With the exceptions of:
1. Consensed temporary use only to make PPE / life-saving medical equipment (following the safety orders outlined by the Governer: https://covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-office-workspaces.pdf) 
2. Consensed moving to the new space (272 Capp Street) for Noisebridge's survival 
3. Emptying out personal belongings from the space (1 person at a time)

| Wait to Consense on staying or moving

Noisebridge should wait to consense on moving or not moving until after the community has had a chance to coalesce and have a meeting at Noisebridge in the interest of communal integrity and excellent process one way or the other.

The current situation is one of extreme entropy not business as usual. We are living through arguably the greatest crisis in living memory.
This might be the most important decision in Noisebridge’s history, not one to be taken hastily.
Several community members have voiced concerns about communication failures around Noisebridge’s real estate process thought the quarantine.
The meeting format has changed.
The meeting time changed.
And we are not able to have normal Noisebridge meetings at Noisebridge.
The board member primarily responsible for relations with the current landlord recently resigned.
Noisebridge has not sufficiently explored options at 2169 Mission St. given the drastically changed circumstances on planet and in the SF Real Estate market.
The situation improves to Noisebridge’s advantage if Noisebridge waits.
The community really wants to stay in its home but sees this as an unattainable ideal.

|Amendment to Special Lease Decisions Consensus Item from 3-6-2018
Real-estate decisions decided by board ratified by 24 hour notice special member consensus

Modified from 2018-03-06 consensus which worked to get a lease. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Consensus_Items_History)

Adds "building improvement decisions" to the list of decisions which board can initiate.

Real-estate decisions are time-sensitive and require an accelerated consensus process:

1. The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements,
building purchase negotiations, lease negotiations and building
improvement decisions in the interest of acquiring a suitable building
to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent
home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the
2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease and any related building
improvement decisions are completed at which time the measure will be
ended by a 24 hour Consensus.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information
stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on
the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss
mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase, lease or building improvement
decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be
called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on
the lease, building improvement or purchase decision. The meeting will
occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for
remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 4
channels described above and the pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting notes.

Ryan: Authorization should last a bit longer than the moment of a new
lease so that building improvements probably done after lease is
finalized can be decided. Some form of small C consensus or big C
consensus should decide when the item has ended in effect since it
likely will take 3-4 months before we become comfortable in the new
space. Also, add in more things related to each building improvement
so all will trigger a 24 hour special consensus period.

| Setting Hold positions for crypto currency
Noisebridge will never maintain more than 20% of it's total liquid assets (cash and equivalents) in crypto currency.

I am suggesting this in light of the $156,000 BTC donation from Kraken. Which brings our BTC to more than 50% of our current assets.

This check will be assessed quarterly (in line with fiscal quarters) and balances greater than 20% would be liquidated.

20% will be a maximum number, and not a target number. i.e. if we increase cash balances we will not buy crypto to maintain that ratio. It is just a measurement of our maximum acceptable risk.

* Noisebridge is currently negotiating a new lease, and it needs to be approved very soon,
*here is some info on the current discussion
*Tyler-One priority I have is removing the elevator clause from the lease. As it stands, NoiseBridge is responsible for 100% of the first $10,000 of repairs, and then 50% thereafter. There is no upper limit to the potential cost here. We are currently being billed $10,000 for the last elevator repair.
*Tyler-For the month of September, Brian has told us to continue to pay $6,500
*Tyler-My original request was a 5 year lease, same rate, without the elevator clause) but Brian was not interested.
*Tyler-His response was $7,250 to remove the elevator fee. I countered at $7.0k
*Tyler-He replied with $7,000 for a 2 year lease without the elevator cost.
*Tyler-I asked for more then 2 years. Brian responded with 3 years at $7,100 / month.
*Tyler-As it stands, I have countered with $7,000 for 2 years with a 2 year option at $7,250.

*Per Jarrod - it is really hard to justify large future costs (Zoning fee, sprinklers / second egress, etc.) if we are potentially limited by a short lease. I'd like to push for a longer term lease, but it would likely come with additional rent hikes.

*Looking for any and all opinions.

*
*I think we should decide whether to approve the board and treasurer to finalize and approve a new lease as soon as we get terms that are favorable to the general noisebridge community

Noisebridge signs lease for 668 Guerrero St.

[https://discuss.noisebridge.info/uploads/default/original/1X/3623c544753c732993b53a4104bc15a0f28e73d7.pdf Provisional Lease]

;Details
: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KKSp1VG-g Video Tour]

;Benefits
: 7,500 sqft (~50% increase from 5,200sqft at current)
: Ground floor entrance with garage door. ADA accessible. Concrete floors.
: Noisebridge would rent the entire building.
: Option to purchase (at $4.0mln startingin 2020 + 3.0% step up/yr thereafter) for the duration of the lease term.
: 2.5 blocks from current NoiseBridge location. No disruption in Mission community. Still easy access to BART.
: Cleaner block and sidewalk
: Early move-in clause provides free rent from lease-signing date till lease-start date of 8//1/2019

;Costs
: $10,000/mo for year 1.
: $1,000/mo rent step-ups per year (up to $13,000/mo in 4th year).
: Purchase option costs $10,000 first year, then $20,000 years 2 and 3.
: $1.33/sqft/mo is a good below market rate, but a $3,500/mo increase from our current location in first year
: Total cost for lease over 4 years: $552,000 + $50,000 in Options = $602,000
: Renovations are expected to cost $50,000 in the first year, broker fees and other licensing expected to cost around $10,000
: First year outlay: $205,000 = $120,000 in rent, $15,000 security, $20,000 fees and options, $50,000 renovations
: Note this is $80,000 above our current yearly revenue, meaning we will draw $80,000 from saving, plus any additional moving or unexpected costs, and does not cover any operating expenses like utilities and other

; Conditions
: <s>We need more expert guidance around the permitting and zoning of 668 Guerrero in order to make an informed decision.</s>
:: Current permitting issues put 2169 occupancy at risk for $92,000, though Perkins Coie is reviewing Pro-bono
:: Without clear plan to avoid fees, 668 Guerrero may be at similar, though lower cost, risk
: <s>Our Perkins Coie advisor will come back at the 6/18/2019 meeting to share her findings.</s>
: Noisebridge is reviewing current draft to make sure it is in line with Noisebridge Priorities
: The property value is struck at $4,000,000, and we should be sure that price is worth $50,000 in options.

| Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

* Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
* On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
* toilet paper,
* broom,
* shelves/drawers,
* exterminator
* new bulb for projector,
* low-cost useful tools,
* reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

* Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
* Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.

The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immediately. After we spend that and get a sense of the likely monthly budget, we can make a consensus item to fill it up every month

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Noisebridge can serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects led by members of the Noisebridge community, accepting grant money and donations to our bank account and passing it along to the leaders of the projects, who will not be considered employees of Noisebridge.

All projects must be led by people who contribute or have contributed to the Noisebridge community in a meaningful way.

Projects must be in line with Noisebridge’s mission to promote and encourage technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education.

Projects that have a military purpose or police purpose, or intend to seek funding from any branch of the military or police, will not be accepted.

Project leaders must be comfortable with the Noisebridge community knowing how much money their project has on hand, since it will be read out at weekly meetings during the treasurer’s report.

We should subject project proposals to rigorous controls and close scrutiny, similar to membership applications. Every project proposed for fiscal sponsorship must be submitted for full Capital-C Consensus, with an executive summary posted online, and any member can block consensus without needing to propose an alternative.

New projects are expected to have specific time limits on the length of their fiscal sponsorship, such as six months to a year, at which point project managers must get consensus to extend fiscal sponsorship. Projects such as Noisetor which have been found to be successful over long periods may seek indefinite fiscal sponsorship.

Projects that violate Noisebridge's mission, accept military or police funding, spend money directly on political campaigns, operate as a for-profit enterprise, embezzle funds, or threaten Noisebridge's 501(c)(3) status will have their fiscal sponsorship automatically revoked. Fiscal sponsorship can also be revoked by consensus of the membership, excluding participants and recipients.

The administrative fee charged by Noisebridge for acting as a fiscal sponsor will be 5% of all money raised through donations and grants, the same rate charged to Noisetor, the first and so far only outside project fiscally sponsored by Noisebridge. This is the low end of what nonprofits charge for fiscal sponsorship and is intended to cover extra overhead costs Noisebridge is taking on.

Noisebridge does not have any paid staff and does not intend to hire any. We may, however, need to pay for additional legal and accounting services from contractors, which should be covered by the 5% administrative fee. Recipients of grant money and donations through fiscal sponsorship may be legally considered contractors of Noisebridge, depending on the amount of money raised and how it is used.

Any money left over from the 5% administrative fee after paying for legal and accounting services will go into Noisebridge’s general fund.

| 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.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
0) Respecting recently updated city / state requirements for coronavirus safety: Noisebridge is temporarily closed for “business as usual” - limiting activities at 272 Capp Street to “Minimum Basic Operations” and (possibly permitted) construction. While details may change, for the near term safe to say no in-person events such as classes, tours, parties, etc. The city's current 10 PM to 5 AM curfew may apply - in general, we'll be preferring to schedule work during daylight hours anyway.(See https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order.pdf for details.)

1) Restricting the number of people indoors at 272 Capp Street to no more than 3 upstairs and 3 downstairs, and (as per current city requirement) mixing no more than 3 households total.

2) Relying on knowledgeable volunteers to coordinate efforts and facilitate safe working environment with good ventilation, distancing, and sanitation.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the space for more participants - especially ventilation and making good use of outdoor space. Also will need some specific signage and paperwork related to coronavirus precautions, as well as any permits required for construction - and deploying basic safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit lighting.

4) Expiring these coronavirus-related restrictions automagically unless re-consensed within 90 days after initial Consensus. Frequent review and revision is expected via discussion at weekly meetings going forward.

Continuing Meeting Remote Accessibility Beyond COVID-19

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

2. Consensed moving to the new space (272 Capp Street) for Noisebridge's survival 
3. Emptying out personal belongings from the space (1 person at a time)

| Wait to Consense on staying or moving

Noisebridge should wait to consense on moving or not moving until after the community has had a chance to coalesce and have a meeting at Noisebridge in the interest of communal integrity and excellent process one way or the other.

The current situation is one of extreme entropy not business as usual. We are living through arguably the greatest crisis in living memory.
This might be the most important decision in Noisebridge’s history, not one to be taken hastily.
Several community members have voiced concerns about communication failures around Noisebridge’s real estate process thought the quarantine.
The meeting format has changed.
The meeting time changed.
And we are not able to have normal Noisebridge meetings at Noisebridge.
The board member primarily responsible for relations with the current landlord recently resigned.
Noisebridge has not sufficiently explored options at 2169 Mission St. given the drastically changed circumstances on planet and in the SF Real Estate market.
The situation improves to Noisebridge’s advantage if Noisebridge waits.
The community really wants to stay in its home but sees this as an unattainable ideal.

|Amendment to Special Lease Decisions Consensus Item from 3-6-2018
Real-estate decisions decided by board ratified by 24 hour notice special member consensus

Modified from 2018-03-06 consensus which worked to get a lease. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Consensus_Items_History)

Adds "building improvement decisions" to the list of decisions which board can initiate.

Real-estate decisions are time-sensitive and require an accelerated consensus process:

1. The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements,
building purchase negotiations, lease negotiations and building
improvement decisions in the interest of acquiring a suitable building
to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent
home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the
2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease and any related building
improvement decisions are completed at which time the measure will be
ended by a 24 hour Consensus.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information
stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on
the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss
mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase, lease or building improvement
decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be
called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on
the lease, building improvement or purchase decision. The meeting will
occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for
remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 4
channels described above and the pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting notes.

Ryan: Authorization should last a bit longer than the moment of a new
lease so that building improvements probably done after lease is
finalized can be decided. Some form of small C consensus or big C
consensus should decide when the item has ended in effect since it
likely will take 3-4 months before we become comfortable in the new
space. Also, add in more things related to each building improvement
so all will trigger a 24 hour special consensus period.

| Setting Hold positions for crypto currency
Noisebridge will never maintain more than 20% of it's total liquid assets (cash and equivalents) in crypto currency.

I am suggesting this in light of the $156,000 BTC donation from Kraken. Which brings our BTC to more than 50% of our current assets.

This check will be assessed quarterly (in line with fiscal quarters) and balances greater than 20% would be liquidated.

20% will be a maximum number, and not a target number. i.e. if we increase cash balances we will not buy crypto to maintain that ratio. It is just a measurement of our maximum acceptable risk.

* Noisebridge is currently negotiating a new lease, and it needs to be approved very soon,
*here is some info on the current discussion
*Tyler-One priority I have is removing the elevator clause from the lease. As it stands, NoiseBridge is responsible for 100% of the first $10,000 of repairs, and then 50% thereafter. There is no upper limit to the potential cost here. We are currently being billed $10,000 for the last elevator repair.
*Tyler-For the month of September, Brian has told us to continue to pay $6,500
*Tyler-My original request was a 5 year lease, same rate, without the elevator clause) but Brian was not interested.
*Tyler-His response was $7,250 to remove the elevator fee. I countered at $7.0k
*Tyler-He replied with $7,000 for a 2 year lease without the elevator cost.
*Tyler-I asked for more then 2 years. Brian responded with 3 years at $7,100 / month.
*Tyler-As it stands, I have countered with $7,000 for 2 years with a 2 year option at $7,250.

*Per Jarrod - it is really hard to justify large future costs (Zoning fee, sprinklers / second egress, etc.) if we are potentially limited by a short lease. I'd like to push for a longer term lease, but it would likely come with additional rent hikes.

*Looking for any and all opinions.

*
*I think we should decide whether to approve the board and treasurer to finalize and approve a new lease as soon as we get terms that are favorable to the general noisebridge community

[https://discuss.noisebridge.info/uploads/default/original/1X/3623c544753c732993b53a4104bc15a0f28e73d7.pdf Provisional Lease]

;Details
: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KKSp1VG-g Video Tour]

;Benefits
: 7,500 sqft (~50% increase from 5,200sqft at current)
: Ground floor entrance with garage door. ADA accessible. Concrete floors.
: Noisebridge would rent the entire building.
: Option to purchase (at $4.0mln startingin 2020 + 3.0% step up/yr thereafter) for the duration of the lease term.
: 2.5 blocks from current NoiseBridge location. No disruption in Mission community. Still easy access to BART.
: Cleaner block and sidewalk
: Early move-in clause provides free rent from lease-signing date till lease-start date of 8//1/2019

;Costs
: $10,000/mo for year 1.
: $1,000/mo rent step-ups per year (up to $13,000/mo in 4th year).
: Purchase option costs $10,000 first year, then $20,000 years 2 and 3.
: $1.33/sqft/mo is a good below market rate, but a $3,500/mo increase from our current location in first year
: Total cost for lease over 4 years: $552,000 + $50,000 in Options = $602,000
: Renovations are expected to cost $50,000 in the first year, broker fees and other licensing expected to cost around $10,000
: First year outlay: $205,000 = $120,000 in rent, $15,000 security, $20,000 fees and options, $50,000 renovations
: Note this is $80,000 above our current yearly revenue, meaning we will draw $80,000 from saving, plus any additional moving or unexpected costs, and does not cover any operating expenses like utilities and other

; Conditions
: <s>We need more expert guidance around the permitting and zoning of 668 Guerrero in order to make an informed decision.</s>
:: Current permitting issues put 2169 occupancy at risk for $92,000, though Perkins Coie is reviewing Pro-bono
:: Without clear plan to avoid fees, 668 Guerrero may be at similar, though lower cost, risk
: <s>Our Perkins Coie advisor will come back at the 6/18/2019 meeting to share her findings.</s>
: Noisebridge is reviewing current draft to make sure it is in line with Noisebridge Priorities
: The property value is struck at $4,000,000, and we should be sure that price is worth $50,000 in options.

| Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

* Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
* On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
* toilet paper,
* broom,
* shelves/drawers,
* exterminator
* new bulb for projector,
* low-cost useful tools,
* reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

* Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
* Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.

The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immediately. After we spend that and get a sense of the likely monthly budget, we can make a consensus item to fill it up every month

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Noisebridge can serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects led by members of the Noisebridge community, accepting grant money and donations to our bank account and passing it along to the leaders of the projects, who will not be considered employees of Noisebridge.

All projects must be led by people who contribute or have contributed to the Noisebridge community in a meaningful way.

Projects must be in line with Noisebridge’s mission to promote and encourage technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education.

Projects that have a military purpose or police purpose, or intend to seek funding from any branch of the military or police, will not be accepted.

Project leaders must be comfortable with the Noisebridge community knowing how much money their project has on hand, since it will be read out at weekly meetings during the treasurer’s report.

We should subject project proposals to rigorous controls and close scrutiny, similar to membership applications. Every project proposed for fiscal sponsorship must be submitted for full Capital-C Consensus, with an executive summary posted online, and any member can block consensus without needing to propose an alternative.

New projects are expected to have specific time limits on the length of their fiscal sponsorship, such as six months to a year, at which point project managers must get consensus to extend fiscal sponsorship. Projects such as Noisetor which have been found to be successful over long periods may seek indefinite fiscal sponsorship.

Projects that violate Noisebridge's mission, accept military or police funding, spend money directly on political campaigns, operate as a for-profit enterprise, embezzle funds, or threaten Noisebridge's 501(c)(3) status will have their fiscal sponsorship automatically revoked. Fiscal sponsorship can also be revoked by consensus of the membership, excluding participants and recipients.

The administrative fee charged by Noisebridge for acting as a fiscal sponsor will be 5% of all money raised through donations and grants, the same rate charged to Noisetor, the first and so far only outside project fiscally sponsored by Noisebridge. This is the low end of what nonprofits charge for fiscal sponsorship and is intended to cover extra overhead costs Noisebridge is taking on.

Noisebridge does not have any paid staff and does not intend to hire any. We may, however, need to pay for additional legal and accounting services from contractors, which should be covered by the 5% administrative fee. Recipients of grant money and donations through fiscal sponsorship may be legally considered contractors of Noisebridge, depending on the amount of money raised and how it is used.

Any money left over from the 5% administrative fee after paying for legal and accounting services will go into Noisebridge’s general fund.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
0) Respecting recently updated city / state requirements for coronavirus safety: Noisebridge is temporarily closed for “business as usual” - limiting activities at 272 Capp Street to “Minimum Basic Operations” and (possibly permitted) construction. While details may change, for the near term safe to say no in-person events such as classes, tours, parties, etc. The city's current 10 PM to 5 AM curfew may apply - in general, we'll be preferring to schedule work during daylight hours anyway.(See https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order.pdf for details.)

1) Restricting the number of people indoors at 272 Capp Street to no more than 3 upstairs and 3 downstairs, and (as per current city requirement) mixing no more than 3 households total.

2) Relying on knowledgeable volunteers to coordinate efforts and facilitate safe working environment with good ventilation, distancing, and sanitation.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the space for more participants - especially ventilation and making good use of outdoor space. Also will need some specific signage and paperwork related to coronavirus precautions, as well as any permits required for construction - and deploying basic safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit lighting.

4) Expiring these coronavirus-related restrictions automagically unless re-consensed within 90 days after initial Consensus. Frequent review and revision is expected via discussion at weekly meetings going forward.

Continuing Meeting Remote Accessibility Beyond COVID-19

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

| Wait to Consense on staying or moving

Noisebridge should wait to consense on moving or not moving until after the community has had a chance to coalesce and have a meeting at Noisebridge in the interest of communal integrity and excellent process one way or the other.

The current situation is one of extreme entropy not business as usual. We are living through arguably the greatest crisis in living memory.
This might be the most important decision in Noisebridge’s history, not one to be taken hastily.
Several community members have voiced concerns about communication failures around Noisebridge’s real estate process thought the quarantine.
The meeting format has changed.
The meeting time changed.
And we are not able to have normal Noisebridge meetings at Noisebridge.
The board member primarily responsible for relations with the current landlord recently resigned.
Noisebridge has not sufficiently explored options at 2169 Mission St. given the drastically changed circumstances on planet and in the SF Real Estate market.
The situation improves to Noisebridge’s advantage if Noisebridge waits.
The community really wants to stay in its home but sees this as an unattainable ideal.

|Amendment to Special Lease Decisions Consensus Item from 3-6-2018
Real-estate decisions decided by board ratified by 24 hour notice special member consensus

Modified from 2018-03-06 consensus which worked to get a lease. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Consensus_Items_History)

Adds "building improvement decisions" to the list of decisions which board can initiate.

Real-estate decisions are time-sensitive and require an accelerated consensus process:

1. The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements,
building purchase negotiations, lease negotiations and building
improvement decisions in the interest of acquiring a suitable building
to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent
home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the
2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease and any related building
improvement decisions are completed at which time the measure will be
ended by a 24 hour Consensus.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information
stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on
the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss
mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase, lease or building improvement
decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be
called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on
the lease, building improvement or purchase decision. The meeting will
occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for
remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 4
channels described above and the pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting notes.

Ryan: Authorization should last a bit longer than the moment of a new
lease so that building improvements probably done after lease is
finalized can be decided. Some form of small C consensus or big C
consensus should decide when the item has ended in effect since it
likely will take 3-4 months before we become comfortable in the new
space. Also, add in more things related to each building improvement
so all will trigger a 24 hour special consensus period.

| Setting Hold positions for crypto currency
Noisebridge will never maintain more than 20% of it's total liquid assets (cash and equivalents) in crypto currency.

I am suggesting this in light of the $156,000 BTC donation from Kraken. Which brings our BTC to more than 50% of our current assets.

This check will be assessed quarterly (in line with fiscal quarters) and balances greater than 20% would be liquidated.

20% will be a maximum number, and not a target number. i.e. if we increase cash balances we will not buy crypto to maintain that ratio. It is just a measurement of our maximum acceptable risk.

* Noisebridge is currently negotiating a new lease, and it needs to be approved very soon,
*here is some info on the current discussion
*Tyler-One priority I have is removing the elevator clause from the lease. As it stands, NoiseBridge is responsible for 100% of the first $10,000 of repairs, and then 50% thereafter. There is no upper limit to the potential cost here. We are currently being billed $10,000 for the last elevator repair.
*Tyler-For the month of September, Brian has told us to continue to pay $6,500
*Tyler-My original request was a 5 year lease, same rate, without the elevator clause) but Brian was not interested.
*Tyler-His response was $7,250 to remove the elevator fee. I countered at $7.0k
*Tyler-He replied with $7,000 for a 2 year lease without the elevator cost.
*Tyler-I asked for more then 2 years. Brian responded with 3 years at $7,100 / month.
*Tyler-As it stands, I have countered with $7,000 for 2 years with a 2 year option at $7,250.

*Per Jarrod - it is really hard to justify large future costs (Zoning fee, sprinklers / second egress, etc.) if we are potentially limited by a short lease. I'd like to push for a longer term lease, but it would likely come with additional rent hikes.

*Looking for any and all opinions.

*
*I think we should decide whether to approve the board and treasurer to finalize and approve a new lease as soon as we get terms that are favorable to the general noisebridge community

Noisebridge signs lease for 668 Guerrero St.

[https://discuss.noisebridge.info/uploads/default/original/1X/3623c544753c732993b53a4104bc15a0f28e73d7.pdf Provisional Lease]

;Details
: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KKSp1VG-g Video Tour]

;Benefits
: 7,500 sqft (~50% increase from 5,200sqft at current)
: Ground floor entrance with garage door. ADA accessible. Concrete floors.
: Noisebridge would rent the entire building.
: Option to purchase (at $4.0mln startingin 2020 + 3.0% step up/yr thereafter) for the duration of the lease term.
: 2.5 blocks from current NoiseBridge location. No disruption in Mission community. Still easy access to BART.
: Cleaner block and sidewalk
: Early move-in clause provides free rent from lease-signing date till lease-start date of 8//1/2019

;Costs
: $10,000/mo for year 1.
: $1,000/mo rent step-ups per year (up to $13,000/mo in 4th year).
: Purchase option costs $10,000 first year, then $20,000 years 2 and 3.
: $1.33/sqft/mo is a good below market rate, but a $3,500/mo increase from our current location in first year
: Total cost for lease over 4 years: $552,000 + $50,000 in Options = $602,000
: Renovations are expected to cost $50,000 in the first year, broker fees and other licensing expected to cost around $10,000
: First year outlay: $205,000 = $120,000 in rent, $15,000 security, $20,000 fees and options, $50,000 renovations
: Note this is $80,000 above our current yearly revenue, meaning we will draw $80,000 from saving, plus any additional moving or unexpected costs, and does not cover any operating expenses like utilities and other

; Conditions
: <s>We need more expert guidance around the permitting and zoning of 668 Guerrero in order to make an informed decision.</s>
:: Current permitting issues put 2169 occupancy at risk for $92,000, though Perkins Coie is reviewing Pro-bono
:: Without clear plan to avoid fees, 668 Guerrero may be at similar, though lower cost, risk
: <s>Our Perkins Coie advisor will come back at the 6/18/2019 meeting to share her findings.</s>
: Noisebridge is reviewing current draft to make sure it is in line with Noisebridge Priorities
: The property value is struck at $4,000,000, and we should be sure that price is worth $50,000 in options.

| Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

* Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
* On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
* toilet paper,
* broom,
* shelves/drawers,
* exterminator
* new bulb for projector,
* low-cost useful tools,
* reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

* Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
* Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.

The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immediately. After we spend that and get a sense of the likely monthly budget, we can make a consensus item to fill it up every month

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Noisebridge can serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects led by members of the Noisebridge community, accepting grant money and donations to our bank account and passing it along to the leaders of the projects, who will not be considered employees of Noisebridge.

All projects must be led by people who contribute or have contributed to the Noisebridge community in a meaningful way.

Projects must be in line with Noisebridge’s mission to promote and encourage technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education.

Projects that have a military purpose or police purpose, or intend to seek funding from any branch of the military or police, will not be accepted.

Project leaders must be comfortable with the Noisebridge community knowing how much money their project has on hand, since it will be read out at weekly meetings during the treasurer’s report.

We should subject project proposals to rigorous controls and close scrutiny, similar to membership applications. Every project proposed for fiscal sponsorship must be submitted for full Capital-C Consensus, with an executive summary posted online, and any member can block consensus without needing to propose an alternative.

New projects are expected to have specific time limits on the length of their fiscal sponsorship, such as six months to a year, at which point project managers must get consensus to extend fiscal sponsorship. Projects such as Noisetor which have been found to be successful over long periods may seek indefinite fiscal sponsorship.

Projects that violate Noisebridge's mission, accept military or police funding, spend money directly on political campaigns, operate as a for-profit enterprise, embezzle funds, or threaten Noisebridge's 501(c)(3) status will have their fiscal sponsorship automatically revoked. Fiscal sponsorship can also be revoked by consensus of the membership, excluding participants and recipients.

The administrative fee charged by Noisebridge for acting as a fiscal sponsor will be 5% of all money raised through donations and grants, the same rate charged to Noisetor, the first and so far only outside project fiscally sponsored by Noisebridge. This is the low end of what nonprofits charge for fiscal sponsorship and is intended to cover extra overhead costs Noisebridge is taking on.

Noisebridge does not have any paid staff and does not intend to hire any. We may, however, need to pay for additional legal and accounting services from contractors, which should be covered by the 5% administrative fee. Recipients of grant money and donations through fiscal sponsorship may be legally considered contractors of Noisebridge, depending on the amount of money raised and how it is used.

Any money left over from the 5% administrative fee after paying for legal and accounting services will go into Noisebridge’s general fund.

|Adopt an anti-harassment policy, and post it on the wiki and a place of prominence in the space; this policy is in a trial period until the THIRD WEEK OF JANUARY 2014, at which point it should be put up for consensus again to extend it / make it permanent:
"Noisebridge is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of people at our events or space in any form. Sexual language and imagery should be only be used for positive purposes in accordance with best practices advocated by professional sex educators (if you’re not sure what those are, don’t do it). People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge member.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
0) Respecting recently updated city / state requirements for coronavirus safety: Noisebridge is temporarily closed for “business as usual” - limiting activities at 272 Capp Street to “Minimum Basic Operations” and (possibly permitted) construction. While details may change, for the near term safe to say no in-person events such as classes, tours, parties, etc. The city's current 10 PM to 5 AM curfew may apply - in general, we'll be preferring to schedule work during daylight hours anyway.(See https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/C19-07-Shelter-in-Place-Health-Order.pdf for details.)

1) Restricting the number of people indoors at 272 Capp Street to no more than 3 upstairs and 3 downstairs, and (as per current city requirement) mixing no more than 3 households total.

2) Relying on knowledgeable volunteers to coordinate efforts and facilitate safe working environment with good ventilation, distancing, and sanitation.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the space for more participants - especially ventilation and making good use of outdoor space. Also will need some specific signage and paperwork related to coronavirus precautions, as well as any permits required for construction - and deploying basic safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit lighting.

4) Expiring these coronavirus-related restrictions automagically unless re-consensed within 90 days after initial Consensus. Frequent review and revision is expected via discussion at weekly meetings going forward.

Continuing Meeting Remote Accessibility Beyond COVID-19

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge classes, presentations, and tools, specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

Accessibility information and statement on the main website

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Providing disability access information on the main website (noisbridge.net) in a clear and easy to access way.
This information should include: 
a. Possible barriers and physical access information for the current physical space of Noisebridge
b. A point of contact for disabled people to ask questions specifically around disability and gaining access to Noisebridge (phone, email, etc. - more options the better).
c. Information on how to request disability accommodations to attend.
d. A statement on Noisebridge's commitment to excellence via inclusion of people with disabilities

 2. This notice to include some form of contact that disabled people can reach if we cannot access the space.

I am submitting the formalized closure of Noisebridge during [https://web.archive.org/web/20200602213809/https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/#sage-1 Stage 1] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20200602213809/https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/#stage-2 Stage 2] of the current COVID-19 pandemic. With [https://covid19.ca.gov/ 98,980 cases and 3,884 deaths] in California as of this writing, it is essential that Noisebridge stay closed in order not to further spread this virus in our communities. SF's cases are still [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/dak2-gvuj surging upward] and the Mission neighborhood is tied for the [https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/bj8f-r6sy highest area for positive cases.] With the exceptions of:
1. Consensed temporary use only to make PPE / life-saving medical equipment (following the safety orders outlined by the Governer: https://covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-office-workspaces.pdf) 
2. Consensed moving to the new space (272 Capp Street) for Noisebridge's survival 
3. Emptying out personal belongings from the space (1 person at a time) 
I propose the physical location of Noisebridge (2169 Mission St.) be physically closed for all other functions. I support us to remain open virtually with classes, meetings, and other events happening online.

I am submitting for consensus for limiting the number of people at Noisebridge during the Pandemic to no more than four (4) people in the space at any given time. I think we should err on the side of caution and work to be safe, using the safety orders outlined by the Governer: https://covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-office-workspaces.pdf as a bare minimum starting point. 
Note, that this order recommends "physical distancing to the maximum extent possible."

| Wait to Consense on staying or moving

Noisebridge should wait to consense on moving or not moving until after the community has had a chance to coalesce and have a meeting at Noisebridge in the interest of communal integrity and excellent process one way or the other.

The current situation is one of extreme entropy not business as usual. We are living through arguably the greatest crisis in living memory.
This might be the most important decision in Noisebridge’s history, not one to be taken hastily.
Several community members have voiced concerns about communication failures around Noisebridge’s real estate process thought the quarantine.
The meeting format has changed.
The meeting time changed.
And we are not able to have normal Noisebridge meetings at Noisebridge.
The board member primarily responsible for relations with the current landlord recently resigned.
Noisebridge has not sufficiently explored options at 2169 Mission St. given the drastically changed circumstances on planet and in the SF Real Estate market.
The situation improves to Noisebridge’s advantage if Noisebridge waits.
The community really wants to stay in its home but sees this as an unattainable ideal.

|Amendment to Special Lease Decisions Consensus Item from 3-6-2018
Real-estate decisions decided by board ratified by 24 hour notice special member consensus

Modified from 2018-03-06 consensus which worked to get a lease. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Consensus_Items_History)

Adds "building improvement decisions" to the list of decisions which board can initiate.

Real-estate decisions are time-sensitive and require an accelerated consensus process:

1. The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements,
building purchase negotiations, lease negotiations and building
improvement decisions in the interest of acquiring a suitable building
to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent
home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the
2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease and any related building
improvement decisions are completed at which time the measure will be
ended by a 24 hour Consensus.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information
stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on
the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss
mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase, lease or building improvement
decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be
called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on
the lease, building improvement or purchase decision. The meeting will
occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for
remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 4
channels described above and the pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting notes.

Ryan: Authorization should last a bit longer than the moment of a new
lease so that building improvements probably done after lease is
finalized can be decided. Some form of small C consensus or big C
consensus should decide when the item has ended in effect since it
likely will take 3-4 months before we become comfortable in the new
space. Also, add in more things related to each building improvement
so all will trigger a 24 hour special consensus period.

| Setting Hold positions for crypto currency
Noisebridge will never maintain more than 20% of it's total liquid assets (cash and equivalents) in crypto currency.

I am suggesting this in light of the $156,000 BTC donation from Kraken. Which brings our BTC to more than 50% of our current assets.

This check will be assessed quarterly (in line with fiscal quarters) and balances greater than 20% would be liquidated.

20% will be a maximum number, and not a target number. i.e. if we increase cash balances we will not buy crypto to maintain that ratio. It is just a measurement of our maximum acceptable risk.

* Noisebridge is currently negotiating a new lease, and it needs to be approved very soon,
*here is some info on the current discussion
*Tyler-One priority I have is removing the elevator clause from the lease. As it stands, NoiseBridge is responsible for 100% of the first $10,000 of repairs, and then 50% thereafter. There is no upper limit to the potential cost here. We are currently being billed $10,000 for the last elevator repair.
*Tyler-For the month of September, Brian has told us to continue to pay $6,500
*Tyler-My original request was a 5 year lease, same rate, without the elevator clause) but Brian was not interested.
*Tyler-His response was $7,250 to remove the elevator fee. I countered at $7.0k
*Tyler-He replied with $7,000 for a 2 year lease without the elevator cost.
*Tyler-I asked for more then 2 years. Brian responded with 3 years at $7,100 / month.
*Tyler-As it stands, I have countered with $7,000 for 2 years with a 2 year option at $7,250.

*Per Jarrod - it is really hard to justify large future costs (Zoning fee, sprinklers / second egress, etc.) if we are potentially limited by a short lease. I'd like to push for a longer term lease, but it would likely come with additional rent hikes.

*Looking for any and all opinions.

*
*I think we should decide whether to approve the board and treasurer to finalize and approve a new lease as soon as we get terms that are favorable to the general noisebridge community

[https://discuss.noisebridge.info/uploads/default/original/1X/3623c544753c732993b53a4104bc15a0f28e73d7.pdf Provisional Lease]

;Details
: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KKSp1VG-g Video Tour]

;Benefits
: 7,500 sqft (~50% increase from 5,200sqft at current)
: Ground floor entrance with garage door. ADA accessible. Concrete floors.
: Noisebridge would rent the entire building.
: Option to purchase (at $4.0mln startingin 2020 + 3.0% step up/yr thereafter) for the duration of the lease term.
: 2.5 blocks from current NoiseBridge location. No disruption in Mission community. Still easy access to BART.
: Cleaner block and sidewalk
: Early move-in clause provides free rent from lease-signing date till lease-start date of 8//1/2019

;Costs
: $10,000/mo for year 1.
: $1,000/mo rent step-ups per year (up to $13,000/mo in 4th year).
: Purchase option costs $10,000 first year, then $20,000 years 2 and 3.
: $1.33/sqft/mo is a good below market rate, but a $3,500/mo increase from our current location in first year
: Total cost for lease over 4 years: $552,000 + $50,000 in Options = $602,000
: Renovations are expected to cost $50,000 in the first year, broker fees and other licensing expected to cost around $10,000
: First year outlay: $205,000 = $120,000 in rent, $15,000 security, $20,000 fees and options, $50,000 renovations
: Note this is $80,000 above our current yearly revenue, meaning we will draw $80,000 from saving, plus any additional moving or unexpected costs, and does not cover any operating expenses like utilities and other

; Conditions
: <s>We need more expert guidance around the permitting and zoning of 668 Guerrero in order to make an informed decision.</s>
:: Current permitting issues put 2169 occupancy at risk for $92,000, though Perkins Coie is reviewing Pro-bono
:: Without clear plan to avoid fees, 668 Guerrero may be at similar, though lower cost, risk
: <s>Our Perkins Coie advisor will come back at the 6/18/2019 meeting to share her findings.</s>
: Noisebridge is reviewing current draft to make sure it is in line with Noisebridge Priorities
: The property value is struck at $4,000,000, and we should be sure that price is worth $50,000 in options.

| Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.

Guidelines for the discretionary fund

* Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
* On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc

Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
* toilet paper,
* broom,
* shelves/drawers,
* exterminator
* new bulb for projector,
* low-cost useful tools,
* reasonable consumables

Examples of things that may not be appropriate:

* Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
* Items to support an individual person project

Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.

The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immediately. After we spend that and get a sense of the likely monthly budget, we can make a consensus item to fill it up every month

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Noisebridge can serve as a fiscal sponsor for projects led by members of the Noisebridge community, accepting grant money and donations to our bank account and passing it along to the leaders of the projects, who will not be considered employees of Noisebridge.

All projects must be led by people who contribute or have contributed to the Noisebridge community in a meaningful way.

Projects must be in line with Noisebridge’s mission to promote and encourage technical, scientific, and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education.

Projects that have a military purpose or police purpose, or intend to seek funding from any branch of the military or police, will not be accepted.

Project leaders must be comfortable with the Noisebridge community knowing how much money their project has on hand, since it will be read out at weekly meetings during the treasurer’s report.

We should subject project proposals to rigorous controls and close scrutiny, similar to membership applications. Every project proposed for fiscal sponsorship must be submitted for full Capital-C Consensus, with an executive summary posted online, and any member can block consensus without needing to propose an alternative.

New projects are expected to have specific time limits on the length of their fiscal sponsorship, such as six months to a year, at which point project managers must get consensus to extend fiscal sponsorship. Projects such as Noisetor which have been found to be successful over long periods may seek indefinite fiscal sponsorship.

Projects that violate Noisebridge's mission, accept military or police funding, spend money directly on political campaigns, operate as a for-profit enterprise, embezzle funds, or threaten Noisebridge's 501(c)(3) status will have their fiscal sponsorship automatically revoked. Fiscal sponsorship can also be revoked by consensus of the membership, excluding participants and recipients.

The administrative fee charged by Noisebridge for acting as a fiscal sponsor will be 5% of all money raised through donations and grants, the same rate charged to Noisetor, the first and so far only outside project fiscally sponsored by Noisebridge. This is the low end of what nonprofits charge for fiscal sponsorship and is intended to cover extra overhead costs Noisebridge is taking on.

Noisebridge does not have any paid staff and does not intend to hire any. We may, however, need to pay for additional legal and accounting services from contractors, which should be covered by the 5% administrative fee. Recipients of grant money and donations through fiscal sponsorship may be legally considered contractors of Noisebridge, depending on the amount of money raised and how it is used.

Any money left over from the 5% administrative fee after paying for legal and accounting services will go into Noisebridge’s general fund.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

| COVID-19 vaccination requirement; honor system preferred
| For the next 90 days unless explicitly renewed by fresh Consensus:

When taking appropriate responsibility for introducing a new person into the physical space, it is expected that vaccination status may be explicitly discussed (briefly and respectfully) to communicate the clear Consensus of Noisebridge that for safety of all participants, people not currently vaccinated against COVID-19 may not be permitted to come inside without good reason for any exception.

Respecting preference for anonymity and discouraging pointless "papers please" scenarios should generally preclude checking vaccine cards and especially any associated demands for identification without good reason for any exception (such as special events or legal requirements).

| Set Aside 150k for Instalation of an Elevator at 272 Capp
| We have an offer to install an elevator at Noisebridge for about 100k, might be a bit more for the extra work nessasary to prep the area (landing area), and will probably be close to 120k.

Extra money not spent on elevator would go into an ADA upkeep fund for long term upkeep of the elevator and other ADA items in the space (doors, bathrooms, desks).

But to be safe we should set aside an extra bit of money for (unforseen issues (redirecting Pipes or Whatnot)).

Or we could put that extra money into an elevator and ADA upkeep fund for long term upkeep of the elevator and other ADA items in the space.

This Item will also have a 1 month research period for seeing if there are any better offers that people can find for installing the elevator.

| Temporary Provisional Capacity Cap at Capp Under Construction in this Time of Contagion
| Regarding 272 Capp Street and the expeditious buildout thereof:

0) Respecting (recently updated) SF requirements relating to coronavirus pandemic, Noisebridge is temporarily closed for "business as usual". Whatever details, safe to say for the foreseeable future: no in-person "events" (classes, tours, parties, etc). And most activities related to the buildout should probably hold off for now. Take a break folks!

1) Going forward, limit number of people indoors at 272 Capp to 3 downstairs and 3 upstairs - whenever volunteers can safely get back to work building out the new space.

2) Scheduled volunteers building out the new space will be supported in their relentless pursuit of excellence. Knowledgeable volunteers are encouraged to facilitate safe and productive use of the space.

3) Prioritizing projects to safely open the the space for more participants - ventilation and making good use of the outdoor space. Allocate funds and encourage donations for these "phase zero" buildout expenses - and budget $1000 for JD to expedite initial shopping list for Moving The Project(s) Forward.

4) Consider any and all of these extraordinary restrictions to be automatically obsolete by (at the latest) March 14th 2021 and open to reasonable modifications as things change. Probably should refresh details and reconfirm relevance at least every month or so.

Anyway. This proposal for (formal) Consensus claims to reflect the current state of affairs and concerns of volunteers working to build out the space, Further suggestions, questions, support (and moar volunteers!) from the broader Noisebridge community would be most welcome at this point.

| Document and Do-ocratize Infrastructure
| Noisebridge will document it's infrastructure (including access control, wikipedia and social media accounts, domain names, financial record keeping and related accounts), and build tools to reduce or eliminate the reliance on trusted individuals, so as to prevent those items of infrastructure from becoming unusable or unmaintainable in the case that those trusted individuals cease to be readily contactable. All such tools will aim to maximize decentralized do-ocratic participation, transparency, and accountability, and minimize secrecy and concentration of power. As part of this, it is necessary to answer the following questions:
1) How can these pieces of infrastructure be accessed without significant vulnerabilities? I.E. what does it mean to access NB's Twitter account in an accountable way? How does that compare to bank information? To domain names? What conditions are appropriate for each such piece of infrastructure, to allow access to working groups building tools?

2) What tools can be made to provide decentralizeddo-ocratic control and accountability? What information must be shared, when, and how can that sharing be guaranteed?

3) Who will build the tools, write the documentation, etc.?

When these three questions can be answered, access will be granted to these tools. The system of trusted individuals may continue to exist as a fallback, if desirable, but will not be the sole way to manage this infrastructure thereafter.

Philanthropists
TJ: philanthropists youmust participate and maybe donate. We have a philanthropist Bryan Trying to join us. We need to get him here to get him to stop woodworking.

Bryan: I work int he wookshop and considered becomeing a philanthropist and I"ve been thingking about it. I don't know if i"ll be able to commit in the long term. I keep on wanting to help and work in the communal build out. I'll mabe think about it till next meeting.

Steve: I want you to be a philanthropist because you sound very responsible.

Dave: re apply when you feel like it.

Pyconaught: leave it in the binder.

= Consensus =
'''Consensus is how the Noisebridge Membership may change how Noisebridge works.'''

(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)

Small things use small c concensus
big changes use big c
Big c is a lot of money or changes how noisebridge fundametally runs

Pyconaut- consensus is the process by which things that can't be done through basic do-ocracy (things that affect others in the space.) It has two flavors, small c and big C. Small c consensus is the process where things that might cause slight issues in the space (events, big projects, moving rooms, etc), you just talk with the community before doing things. Big C consensus is the process by which actions are taken at noisebridge that are too big, too expensive, or too critical to be done by small c consensus. These are things like Moving, spending a lot of money, or doing legal bureaucratic garbage. This is a two week+ process where an item is proposed one week (if possible you should already have the item posted in draft consensus items, and the binder). At that meeting it will be discussed for a while, then the next week it will be discussed again, and if people feel confident, it will be brought up for consensus, and if no big M member blocks the consensus item it passes and becomes a Consensed item.

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Current_Consensus_Items

TWO different proposals on how we could handle vax status

OPTION 1: Inquiring about vaccination status
It is excellent to broach the subject of vaccination, either by pointing at the sign, or asking the person if they are vaccinated. If people are unvaccinated they must not be let inside without very good reason.
* lizzard - i'm in favor of this
broccoli blocks this

OPTION 2: Require showing vaccination cards
Explicitly require showing vaccination cards prior to entry to Noisebridge (until further notice).
Blocked as currently written

This came about due to the questions that came up when asking non vaccinated people to leave. Having big C concensus will make it easier for people to fell safe asking people to leave, and for how it should be handled.

There are two options (vaccine cards or ask about status)

Multiple people dislike the idea of forced deanominazation of people by looking at card and id, but are fine with asking people about

Both options have current exsplicit blocks, reasons and alternatives will be explained

New option from Fineline
You must broach the subject of vaccination, either by pointing at the sign, or asking the person if they are vaccinated. You may _not_ request to see someone's official vaccination record, as we oppose the deanonymization that would induce*. If people are unvaccinated they must not be let inside without very good reason.

*This does not apply to events hosted at noisebridge by third
parties (eg our monthly hack comedy, hackathons, etc..). If the host of these events wants to require official proof of
vaccination, we can accommodate this.

Mark- I am not a member, but if I was I would block this. I think we need to enforse masks as lying is very easy, and masks

Soon we might be required to follow the methods of bars requiring vacine cards

relay: if we're going to do this, we're going to have to have explicit 'doorway' procedures.

nadine: sounds like a nightmare. no one wants to be put in that situation. no one wants deanonymity also. how do we straddle the line. how about show your card and cover your name or also not phone number

evil dan: enjoy the moments we have together until our ultimate doom from ebola-covid

dave: direct response to steve. don't understand why it needs to be combined. both can go in as separate items.

steve: talked to tj, agreed that we were going to block requiring vax cards. wanted to go for lesser option. option 1 not good by itself because it didnt explicitly forbid chacking the vac records. kept option 1 intact, but prevents from checking vax records.

Sophia- Generally people of noisebridge would not lie, and I would be comfortable asking them to take exstended leave if they lie.

steve: recapping what happened. sophia proposes i retract my block if we small c concens to not check vac cards on top of option 1.

Steve- I retrat my block under those conditions.

Currenmt term-

pyconaut: i have comments but do not block option 1. can add to small-c consensus. if someone new to the space. if someone asks to see the card people can say no they don't want to show it. I think this will help with possible gaps.

dan: consensus is the map not the territory - the reality of dealing with these fucking people. It is good to have a good map. You want to keep it simple and it is ok wait a week and figure it out next week. With regard to one counterpoint to our culture is to have "YOU MUST" is concerning. someone suggested changing it to "it would be excellent to" but i dont agree. glad you're not putting in too many details about asking whether you can or cannot ask to see someone's id. generally a no, but sometimes you gotta call BS. this is rare.
no policy is better than bad policy.

tj: on must vs excellent. saying "it's excellent" but not requiring is just status quo. so the consensus item would be meaningless.

read bocolli's issues with proposal 1

brocolli doesnt consense. but why? steve tells us.
he doesn't like
broccoli doesn't like "must", likes "it is excellent". And to second is not appropriate (fine we already know this). Also add it is unexcellent to ask for vaccine card.
broccoli doesn't think there is a "must" to it. strongly feel that it's not excellent to ask for vaccine card. Either way if they are not alloud if they are unvacccinated.

sophia: that sounds like a stronger version of steve's objection

steve: agrees. needs to be something in there that you cant ask for proof of official vaccine record. he wants to disallow the "must" clause.

dave: i dont think the distinction matters. why: we only have one rule. if something is not excellent you can't do it. therefore: excellent is must.

steve: this is genius. legal wrangling is the essence of NB

forget his name: this is all about keeping each other safe. as human beings we should be able to ask this. we should take someone at their word. dont want it to keep going around in circles. We are not polititions we are just trying to vcreate an exellent space. We are

relay: addendum. cannot use "should". however he said we explicitly can't check for vaccine records.

Fineline- There will probably be a time where the city will ask for us to check records

Sophia- most of the community thinks that you should be vaccinated to be in noisebridge

doba is a writer by trade. if its an issue with "must" being a rule and "its excellent to" isnt enough. then we could say "failure to raise the question of vaccine status is considered unexcellent"

Dave- I propose we give up on giving big C consensus tonight, as there still seems to be some people who might block

Sophia- I think there will be other people who might be against it if we delay it to long.

Dave: nothing is consensed. there is no consensus item that prohibits you from asking about vaccine card.

Dan- It is rare that we need big c concensus, but I think it is important when it protects yourself and others, and it will make the line less blury. ive been involved in 4 discussions with people who arent vaccinated. last one was with sophia. i would be happy to be like lol no sorry. if in the next 24h we get better language and put it in the wiki, it could pass next week. Words can be hard. if the vaccination status stuff becomes an issue that's fine. we're good at watching the watchpeople. good faith is good for doing this. dont like codifying excellence. we can take the must out.

conensus item: It is excellent to broach the subject of vaccination, either by pointing at the sign, or asking the person if they are vaccinated. If people are unvaccinated they must not be let inside without very good reason. It is unexcellent to ask for vaccine cards unless there is a strong reason.

Sophia- Asking about current members feelings.
No present members block curren draft of the writing

dave: i regret to inflict more discussion upon everyone. another consensus item thats exactly the same but with a 90 day expiration limit.

Spohia- this new item also passes current members, and goes to next meeting

Stack

= Discussion =

== Discussion Item 1 Big honking 3d printer ==

we could maybe do this. theres a big 3d printer brought to noisebridge, needs slight maintainence. everything else works. want to move it to NB. theres another makerspace that will take it.

Dave- We are in a serious

where is it now?
At a noisebridgers house, but needs to move out.

Could we fix it in the noisebrdiger's house?

Pyconaut- Nope

TJ - Not a great sign, if the original owner can't even keep it.

Pyconaut- They have no time, to fix it, they have a job. THey have only put a few hours into theying to fix it sice they got it during the pandemic.

Pyconaut- 5 noisbridgers have all gone and seen it and they all think it would make sense for noisebridge to take it.

Pyconaut- It is a 200k printer that we would get for free.

Pyconaut- I already have an idea of where it can live

We've also been trying to consolidate bc space is an issue

Pyconaut- That is true, we have a lot of stuff we need to go through in the space

Pyconaut- I hope to come in soon and do some cleaning in the space.

If space is cleaned up and it is activly being worked on, there is general aggrement in bringing it to the space, and if it can't be fixed to get it out of the space just as fast.

== Discussion Item 2 Trash ==

== Discussion Item 3 idea for party thing ==

Social parties twice a year. And a raffel for goods and services. Classes as a raffel.

Cool idea people like it

Pyconaut- I am happy to help out, I ran a small virtual noisebridge party last year, and have helped out with noisebridge raffels before.

== Discussion Item last: Guilds ==
Guilds are a neat abstract
organization tool that Noisebridge can use. Lets talk about their potential online! discuss.noisebridge.info or https://discord.gg/GtpDdX5

Steve: be excellent like bill and ted's exccelent adventure
kind of crazy genious neuro atypical people. We argue but we try to work things out as much as possible. Communicate and be nice. That's my understanding. I strongly feel that is not what modern culture would call a "safe space". This often leads to culture shattering drama. We are a "brave space" we work things out like punks. We don't harrass people. Check to see if others are trying to be an asshole first. (Edit by

little c consensus and everyone agrees and participates.

Big C concensus needs to go to 2/3 meetings and is a bigger deal

Steve: every decision is mostly little c concensus. do your due dilligence to not piss people off.

Big c concensus items that are more controvercial. Spending money on big projects. Things that affect the resources of the space as a whole.

The last Big C concensus was the lockdown rules.
(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)

TJ I will block if we have to ask people to show their vaccine cards. I don't want people to have me show their papers

consideration: build in a timeline limit to the concensus item.

Consideration: send it to emails, or more social media. This needs to be more broadcasted. but we should know that next week is the week to make a decision on this.

Put a post of the discussion item in the title for Discuss.

= Excellence =
'''Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.'''

Wolf - everyone cooperates and tries to do things in the spirit of doing them together. and communication.

Dave - good demonstration of excellence when people moved the boards around.

(What does that mean? How does the Anti-Harassment Policy fit into this? Are we SURE we know what being Excellent is? This is an important and fundamental conversation at Noisebridge, so let's give it like 120 seconds.)

= Participation =
'''Everyone at Noisebridge is a participant at Noisebridge.'''

Mentar - doing stuff that helps out the space. i am participating by helping the bike shed, because i have experience.

Dave - different levels of access to the door. if you've been here a bit and get a member to sponsor you you get 30 days access. if you want to be here outside of open hours, you can become a philanthropist and you need a member to sponsor you and you're supposed to donate.
Q(Elan): How late are people typically at NB?
A(Sophia): Depends, last week people were working/hanging out till ~2am but doors closed ~10pm
TJ - ask us for an invite to slack and they can post to channel.

(What does that mean? How do you get a door key? Access to Slack, Discuss, etc?)

= [[Philanthropist|Philanthropists]]=
'''A Philanthropist at Noisebridge has earned enough trust from the community to open and close the space.'''

philanthropists need to shepherd the space, open and close the space. try to be here a day a week or a few days a week.

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Philanthropists? How do you become one? etc)

Wolf is becoming a philanthropist. all rejoice \o/

TODO(Wolf?): the donations page was linking to the wrong thing, wolf says hes going to fix it

tyler says we're rolling in cash money...
Q(Elan): Are all funds held in BTC?
A(Sophia/Dave): No but ~1/3 which was unintentional but how it is.

Talk:Current Consensus Items

Fnord: (discussion from 2014 is history)

Talk:Current Consensus Items

2021-09-01T03:02:32Z

Fnord: (moved current discussion to top of page)

== Inquiring about vaccination status ==

Discussion for proposed consensus item: "Inquiring about vaccination status"

== Require showing vaccination cards ==

Discussion for proposed consensus item: "Require showing vaccination cards"

== As open as possible (2014) ==

Motivation for "Access Policy Reboot":
* Follow-up previous consensus proposal, which was tabled after discussion
* Not entirely trolling here: it actually might make sense to try this ...
* Radically simplify proposed language: just say "as open as possible"
* Realign policy with current consensus reality
* Make room to develop better language (and policy) from a clean slate

This latest proposal removes language describing access restrictions altogether,
and adds the simple affirmation that Noisebridge should be "as open as possible" ...

(Note: ... not .) Yes, this leaves plenty of room for interpretation.

Would be nice if the '...' serves to inspire a bit more nuanced, balanced language still reflecting widespread agreement, such as:
* "as open as possible for appropriate use."
* ''(please add your excellent suggestions here)''

As is, just to help clear the air a bit in the meantime.

Note that this language does not explicitly preclude access control, which can still be experimented with and re-codified if necessary.

Also note: How does this impact the "Associate Member" concept? While it does undermine some of the presumed motivation ("guaranteed" 24/7 access), it does not otherwise negate the recognition of Associate Members as such. And, decoupling access control from the "Associate Member" meme should add flexibility as we experiment more with both of these frameworks going forward.

== Access Policy (2014) ==

(details from https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014_05_27)
(tabled/"blocked")
Improve wording about associate membership.
What was consensed as
"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."
should be changed to
"Noisebridge is open to Members, Associate Members, and guests sponsored
by same, at all times. Any person who is not one of the above may be
asked to leave if no Member or Associate Member present wishes to sponsor
them at that time, with no other justification being necessary.
People coming to Noisebridge who don't know anyone should be introduced
to members who are present so that sponsorship can occur if members
present choose to do so at that time. Noisebridge should present itself
as "open to public visitors and guests as often as possible"

A sample of concerns and suggestions from the discussion notes:
"Would be great to have this simplified.
In practice, this is what's already happening."
...
"I'm willing to work on this text to make it worth changing.
This text is trying to ameliorate the problems that the original text created.
People thought they had to be invited to Noisebridge to attend at all, even
those going to classes. Didn't solve any problems. We have the same problems
we had before. We still have to ask people to leave. Types of people who are
asked to leave: those who don't care about cultural code, and those who know
about it but are too whacked out to behave and need to be yanked out."
...
"As a new person, that new wording was what I saw, and I felt uninvited,
but I came and felt welcomed. What about 'be excellent to each other'?"
...
"For your consideration, a sign saying we welcome everyone,
but we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

Broklii- How closed is noisebrige right now

Dan- Very few people have keys as they are

Noisebridge is closed in all normal hacking aspects, if someone needs to access the space for a lagitimit reason they can figure out who has keys to help them.

Broklii- is it time to reconfirm the 4th item from the concensus item from Nov 17th, 2020. Were these restrictions exspired like in the concensus items

Dan- We small c concensused the continuation of that item.

Mark- What about modifiying them, like the 3 people upstaire and 3 downstairs. and 3 households total.

Dan- Those still apply as even though the city allows buisnesses

LXPK- What about having people using vaccine passports (CDC vaccine documents). Many countries are already doing this. Do people think this is viable

Pyconaut- I think that is a good idea (any event I plan to host at noise)

Mark- I think that is a good idea LXPK. But we also need to monitor capacity in some way. We need to keep count very well. Also maybe have more specific hours and not 24 hours until we can move to 100% capancity. We would need to have volunteer shifts for people so that we can control said hours. I think the consensus item needs to need a minimal description of a capacity monitoring system in order to be a good consensus item.

Pyconaut- VHS has a system like that that updates on their website, and a phisical ticker box in the space.

Mark - Automation is good and all. But we still need people to watch.

Dan- I have a few ideas about the babysitter issue of having a responsible noisebridger watching the space and checking all the people that come into the space. It is better to have two people, as a single person taking care of noisebridge is really hard, it is good to have backup, and accountability. Don't underestimate the amount of attention required. HAVE A BUDDY.

LXPK- also allows better testimony if things go wrong, especially when issues happen.

LXPK- So we could ammend the consensus item to add the following:
For Noisebridge to comply with San Francisco pandemic guidelines, several steps need to be taken. We can monitor the number of people on the premises to stay below the City's capacity limitations and our internally determined current allowed number of people upstairs and downstairs according to space and ventilation allowances. Whomever opens Noisebridge should keep a log of hours opened and numbers of persons and times entering and exiting the space to document that we comply with city guidelines. Best practices for those keeping watch on the space will be established at meetings and be updated according to conditions. There may be additional steps necessary to maintain safety and compliance which will be re-evaluated according to health agency guidance.

Pyconaut- more then just following City and State guidelines, I think we need to have our own guidelines that refrence the current the state of the mission which has much higher case count then the rest of SF (if The mission was a city, it would be red or purple teir, not SF Oarnge).

Dan- Mission is nbuts

Mark- We need to make sure to have good logs that show that we are following gudelines (hours open, people in space).

Dan- I think the People watch the space can be done by small c concensus.

Pyconaut- what about the specifics of the city guidelines and if we can even comply with them enough to open (veltilation, clenliness, etc).

Dan- It is hard to get people to read the guidelines, as to understand your position in the current system you need to read them.

Dan- The documents we need to make for this so that we can fall into general city compliance is the next real step. Until those items are filled out, we will not be able to open. The longer we wait the less documents/compliance regulation we might need. Maybe move our moving date in the consensus item from when it passes, to june sometime.

Pyconaut- Buildout makes opening much harder (can we even be open while they are doing construction in the space).

Dan- Maybe prepare for partial opening, where we can close down for a few week when we have construction.

Pyconaut: Adding construction time where NB will be closed to work on it as part of the re-opening consensus item might be good. When I get vaccinated, if Mission calms down more, I'll go to NB more often and volunteer space-watch esp. if I can find a buddy to help keep watch. I think it would be good if space watchers are vaccinated. At some point, I don't know if it will be the fall or next winter, but we're going to be probably opening up to people who might not be vaccinated and if we're turning people away just because they're not vaccinated that could be seen as un-excellent. But for right now, for the safety of community, vaccination is something we should consider. Don't know if trust is right word for what I think about vaccines in our conmmunity.

LXPK- Making sure peole helping with construction are vaccinated could be useful as it could be considered a health safety risk. And putting noisebridgers at risk is unexellent.

We should not ban non vaccinated, but it is easier to consuder people who are, espicially if you need to work in a big group.

Dan- If I want to get someone to help in the space, I make sure that the space is what I consider safe, and that these people will not have to worry about random tourists, or guests that are not their for helping the space.

LXPK- This resolutions goal should be squarely aimed at people who are coming to noisebridge to help buildout, and to keep them safe. Not for general happy noisebridge hacking open time.

Dan- How should we do this open (we are opening in june or july, or we are now open for buildout, or both, or buildout opening happens in june). We are trying to grow a community of responsibility, and adaptibility for this.

LXPK- What about the three upstairs three downstairs.

Pyconaut- Maybe just do the three husehold thing

Dan- that does seem better.

LXPK- Maybe we can adapt it so that fully vaccinated people who have keys can go in on top of thoseof three households. We also need a way for old keyholders (Big M members, philanthropists), to ask for keys if they are vaccinated.

Dan- So if I dont have a key and I want to help build out how do I find out where to get involved in buildout.

LXPK- Discuss is a good comon denominator as it is a open forum, and can crosspost to slack.

Pyconaut- and soon discord if I actually spend the time to do the work.

Dan- Managability is hard even with 6 people right now. The majic number is hard. Having a min or max might not really work (people may or may not listen).

LXPK- also having to many people even if vaccinated can become unmanagable.

Dan- Upstairs seems a lot harder to amnage then downstairs. 2 upstairs, 4 doownstairs, and maybe 3 outside (though mission).

Dan- Blockchain Vaccine passport.

LXPK- Thinking about after construction, is finished what would our restrictions be (vaccinated general access?, etc, ... )

Mark- Lets move this discussion to discuss as it is late.

LXPK- We have a lot of ideas and a start to a well writen item, please bring others into this discussion. NEED MORE EYEBALLS.

= Discussion =

== Discussion Item 1 ==

LXPK - Vaccine Passports as tool for safe re-opening:
https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-04-05/vaccine-passports-key-to-reopening-society
https://abc7news.com/coronavirus-vaccine-passport-airports-california/10482282/
Hackaday did an article about it from a hacker perspective:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/14/22231187/microsoft-salesforce-oracle-digital-vaccination-records
We already have hacker passports for fun. Could we make vaccine documentation a tool for a safer path for re-opening Noisebridge and other hackerspaces with the least risk?

We can monitor the number of people on the premises to stay below the City's capacity limitations and our internally determined current allowed number of people upstairs and downstairs according to space and ventilation allowances. Whomever opens Noisebridge should keep a log of hours opened and numbers of persons and times entering and exiting the space to document that we comply with city guidelines. Best practices for those keeping watch on the space will be established at meetings and be updated according to conditions. There may be additional steps necessary to maintain safety and compliance which will be re-evaluated according to health agency guidance.

Pyconaut- more then just following City and State guidelines, I think we need to have our own guidelines that refrence the current the state of the mission which has much higher case count then the rest of SF (if The mission was a city, it would be red or purple teir, not SF Oarnge).

Dan- Mission is nbuts

Mark- We need to make sure to have good logs that show that we are following gudelines (hours open, people in space).

Dan- I think the People watch the space can be done by small c concensus.

Pyconaut- what about the specifics of the city guidelines and if we can even comply with them enough to open (veltilation, clenliness, etc).

Dan- It is hard to get people to read the guidelines, as to understand your position in the current system you need to read them.

Dan- The documents we need to make for this so that we can fall into general city compliance is the next real step. Until those items are filled out, we will not be able to open. The longer we wait the less documents/compliance regulation we might need. Maybe move our moving date in the consensus item from when it passes, to june sometime.

Pyconaut- Buildout makes opening much harder (can we even be open while they are doing construction in the space).

Dan- Maybe prepare for partial opening, where we can close down for a few week when we have construction.

Pyconaut: Adding construction time where NB will be closed to work on it as part of the re-opening consensus item might be good. When I get vaccinated, if Mission calms down more, I'll go to NB more often and volunteer space-watch esp. if I can find a buddy to help keep watch. I think it would be good if space watchers are vaccinated. At some point, I don't know if it will be the fall or next winter, but we're going to be probably opening up to people who might not be vaccinated and if we're turning people away just because they're not vaccinated that could be seen as un-excellent. But for right now, for the safety of community, vaccination is something we should consider. Don't know if trust is right word for what I think about vaccines in our conmmunity.

LXPK- Making sure peole helping with construction are vaccinated could be useful as it could be considered a health safety risk. And putting noisebridgers at risk is unexellent.

We should not ban non vaccinated, but it is easier to consuder people who are, espicially if you need to work in a big group.

Dan- If I want to get someone to help in the space, I make sure that the space is what I consider safe, and that these people will not have to worry about random tourists, or guests that are not their for helping the space.

LXPK- This resolutions goal should be squarely aimed at people who are coming to noisebridge to help buildout, and to keep them safe. Not for general happy noisebridge hacking open time.

Dan- How should we do this open (we are opening in june or july, or we are now open for buildout, or both, or buildout opening happens in june). We are trying to grow a community of responsibility, and adaptibility for this.

LXPK- What about the three upstairs three downstairs.

Pyconaut- Maybe just do the three husehold thing

Dan- that does seem better.

LXPK- Maybe we can adapt it so that fully vaccinated people who have keys can go in on top of thoseof three households. We also need a way for old keyholders (Big M members, philanthropists), to ask for keys if they are vaccinated.

Dan- So if I dont have a key and I want to help build out how do I find out where to get involved in buildout.

LXPK- Discuss is a good comon denominator as it is a open forum, and can crosspost to slack.

Pyconaut- and soon discord if I actually spend the time to do the work.

Dan- Managability is hard even with 6 people right now. The majic number is hard. Having a min or max might not really work (people may or may not listen).

LXPK- also having to many people even if vaccinated can become unmanagable.

Dan- Upstairs seems a lot harder to amnage then downstairs. 2 upstairs, 4 doownstairs, and maybe 3 outside (though mission).

Dan- Blockchain Vaccine passport.

LXPK- Thinking about after construction, is finished what would our restrictions be (vaccinated general access?, etc, ... )

Mark- Lets move this discussion to discuss as it is late.

LXPK- We have a lot of ideas and a start to a well writen item, please bring others into this discussion. NEED MORE EYEBALLS.

}

Broklii- How closed is noisebrige right now

Dan- Very few people have keys as they are

Noisebridge is closed in all normal hacking aspects, if someone needs to access the space for a lagitimit reason they can figure out who has keys to help them.

Broklii- is it time to reconfirm the 4th item from the concensus item from Nov 17th, 2020. Were these restrictions exspired like in the concensus items

Dan- We small c concensused the continuation of that item.

Mark- What about modifiying them, like the 3 people upstaire and 3 downstairs. and 3 households total.

Dan- Those still apply as even though the city allows buisnesses

LXPK- What about having people using vaccine passports (CDC vaccine documents). Many countries are already doing this. Do people think this is viable

Pyconaut- I think that is a good idea (any event I plan to host at noise)

Mark- I think that is a good idea LXPK. But we also need to monitor capacity in some way. We need to keep count very well. Also maybe have more specific hours and not 24 hours until we can move to 100% capancity. We would need to have volunteer shifts for people so that we can control said hours. I think the consensus item needs to need a minimal description of a capacity monitoring system in order to be a good consensus item.

Pyconaut- VHS has a system like that that updates on their website, and a phisical ticker box in the space.

Mark - Automation is good and all. But we still need people to watch.

Dan- I have a few ideas about the babysitter issue of having a responsible noisebridger watching the space and checking all the people that come into the space. It is better to have two people, as a single person taking care of noisebridge is really hard, it is good to have backup, and accountability. Don't underestimate the amount of attention required. HAVE A BUDDY.

LXPK- also allows better testimony if things go wrong, especially when issues happen.

LXPK- So we could ammend the consensus item to add the following:
For Noisebridge to comply with San Francisco pandemic guidelines, several steps need to be taken. We can monitor the number of people on the premises to stay below the City's capacity limitations and our internally determined current allowed number of people upstairs and downstairs according to space and ventilation allowances. Whomever opens Noisebridge should keep a log of hours opened and numbers of persons and times entering and exiting the space to document that we comply with city guidelines. Best practices for those keeping watch on the space will be established at meetings and be updated according to conditions. There may be additional steps necessary to maintain safety and compliance which will be re-evaluated according to health agency guidance.

Pyconaut- more then just following City and State guidelines, I think we need to have our own guidelines that refrence the current the state of the mission which has much higher case count then the rest of SF (if The mission was a city, it would be red or purple teir, not SF Oarnge).

Dan- Mission is nbuts

Mark- We need to make sure to have good logs that show that we are following gudelines (hours open, people in space).

Dan- I think the People watch the space can be done by small c concensus.

Pyconaut- what about the specifics of the city guidelines and if we can even comply with them enough to open (veltilation, clenliness, etc).

Dan- It is hard to get people to read the guidelines, as to understand your position in the current system you need to read them.

Dan- The documents we need to make for this so that we can fall into general city compliance is the next real step. Until those items are filled out, we will not be able to open. The longer we wait the less documents/compliance regulation we might need. Maybe move our moving date in the consensus item from when it passes, to june sometime.

Pyconaut- Buildout makes opening much harder (can we even be open while they are doing construction in the space).

Dan- Maybe prepare for partial opening, where we can close down for a few week when we have construction.

Pyconaut: Adding construction time where NB will be closed to work on it as part of the re-opening consensus item might be good. When I get vaccinated, if Mission calms down more, I'll go to NB more often and volunteer space-watch esp. if I can find a buddy to help keep watch. I think it would be good if space watchers are vaccinated. At some point, I don't know if it will be the fall or next winter, but we're going to be probably opening up to people who might not be vaccinated and if we're turning people away just because they're not vaccinated that could be seen as un-excellent. But for right now, for the safety of community, vaccination is something we should consider. Don't know if trust is right word for what I think about vaccines in our conmmunity.

LXPK- Making sure peole helping with construction are vaccinated could be useful as it could be considered a health safety risk. And putting noisebridgers at risk is unexellent.

We should not ban non vaccinated, but it is easier to consuder people who are, espicially if you need to work in a big group.

Dan- If I want to get someone to help in the space, I make sure that the space is what I consider safe, and that these people will not have to worry about random tourists, or guests that are not their for helping the space.

LXPK- This resolutions goal should be squarely aimed at people who are coming to noisebridge to help buildout, and to keep them safe. Not for general happy noisebridge hacking open time.

Dan- How should we do this open (we are opening in june or july, or we are now open for buildout, or both, or buildout opening happens in june). We are trying to grow a community of responsibility, and adaptibility for this.

LXPK- What about the three upstairs three downstairs.

Pyconaut- Maybe just do the three husehold thing

Dan- So if I dont have a key and I want to help build out how do I find out where to get involved in buildout.

LXPK- Discuss is a good comon denominator as it is a open forum, and can crosspost to slack.

Pyconaut- and soon discord if I actually spend the time to do the work.

Dan- Managability is hard even with 6 people right now. The majic number is hard. Having a min or max might not really work (people may or may not listen).

LXPK- also having to many people even if vaccinated can become unmanagable.

Dan- Upstairs seems a lot harder to amnage then downstairs. 2 upstairs, 4 doownstairs, and maybe 3 outside (though mission).

Dan- Blockchain Vaccine passport.

LXPK- Thinking about after construction, is finished what would our restrictions be (vaccinated general access?, etc, ... )

Mark- Lets move this discussion to discuss as it is late.

= Excellence =
'''Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.'''

(What does that mean? How does the Anti-Harassment Policy fit into this? Are we SURE we know what being Excellent is? This is an important and fundamental conversation at Noisebridge, so let's give it like 120 seconds.)

Tj- If you want to do something, just do it, but make sure to be exellent to eachother.

Excellence is about caring for yourself, others, the space, and the community, it is about calling out when you see something wrong, and being availble to help others. Being exccelent can be doing things like taking out the trash, fixing a broken machine, cleaning up one of the areas, etc. As long as you follow the one rule, you will be welcome at noisebridge. We also have a Strict antiharrasment policy, so if you are making people feel harrased through your actions, you will be asked to leave. If you feel harrased at Noisebridge, Please contact someone in noisebridge who you trust to help you out, or get in touch with our brave space people, there are people on slack, discuss, and discord who are pretty easy to reach with these issues. If you are harrasing people, you will be asked to leave, and if it is deemed nessassary you will be 86ed.

= Participation =
'''Everyone at Noisebridge is a participant at Noisebridge.'''

(What does that mean? How do you get a door key? Access to Slack, Discuss, etc?)

There are many ways to participate at noisebridge, this includes taking a class, teaching a class, giving a presentation, using our equiptment, etc. You can also do just about any project since we run on do-ocracy. But if you think that the action or project might disturb others, please go through small c concensus and ask the community before you take any actions. Once you come by for a bit and gain some trust from the community, you can ask for a 30 day access token which will get you in the noisebridge door from 10am to 11pm for 30 days (then it then needs to be renewed). You can also participate digitally through our different online systems- noisebridge slack noisebridge discuss noisebridge wiki noisebridge meetup

= [[Philanthropist|Philanthropists]]=
'''A Philanthropist at Noisebridge has earned enough trust from the community to open and close the space.'''

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Philanthropists? How do you become one? etc)

If you don't want a ton of commitment choose to become the

Once you come by for a while and have a lot of trust from the community, people might start asking if you want to become a philanthropist (you can also apply right away if you think the benefits are worth it). A philathropist is the next trust level after daytime access (30 day token) usually in escalating participation. You get 24/7 access during non plague times, pay some money (40 to 80 dollars), give tours and introduce new people to the space. We want more of them to help more people be able to access the space!

= [[ Membership Binder ]] =
'''Membership in Noisebridge entails community Trust in Consensus.'''

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Members? How do you become a Member? etc)

You have the the ability to Block Big C Concensus items. You need 2 Sponsors who are already Big M members, and then you need 4 weeks for of people checking your exellence and go through the process of becoming a Big M member

Big M Members are different from just being a member of the community, this is the highest trust level of the noisebridge community, it means that everyone in the community trusts that you would make good decisions about how noisebridge can move forward. This is an annoying bureocratic level of trust, as the only theoretical benefit is that you get to block big C concensus items, and vote on who we place on our board. To become one, you need to go through a four week process, where you fill out a membership form sponsored by two big M members. You bring it to a tuesday meeting where it is submitted, your membership will be discussed at that meeting, then at the next tuesday meeting your membership is discussed again and if it gets to concensus, you will be asked to leave the room while the members present decide if they want to block you or not, if no member blocks your membership application you become a member. For the next two weeks any big M member can retroactivly block your membership for any reason. IF you get blocked figure out why, fix the issue, and apply again in a few months.

research stuff

= Consensus =
'''Consensus is how the Noisebridge Membership may change how Noisebridge works.'''

(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)

concensus is the process by which things that can't be done through basic do-ocracy (things that affect others in the space.) It has two flavors, small c and big C. Small c concensus is the process where things that might cause slight issues in the space (events, big projects, moving rooms, etc), you just talk with the community before doing things. Big C concensus is the process by which action are taken at noisebridge that are to big, to expensive, or to critical to be done by small c concensus. These are things like Moving, spending a lot of money, or doing legal bureucratic garbage. This is a two week+ process where an item is propsed one week (if possible you should already have the item posted in draft concensus items, and the binder). At that meeting it will be discussed for a while, then the next week it will be discussed again, and if people feel confident, it will be brought up for concencus, and if no big M member blocks the consensus items it passes and becomes a Consensed item.

ELKAVATOR

The key Idea that we were wondering if it could be done is, to add a short interior ramp that would lift our elevator up about 2 feet of elevation, which would allow us to install a much simpiler virtical wheelchair lift, instead of the 100k+ for a full elevator. The conserns are still the same, whith bye in for the landlord, still a decent chunk of money (50k?), but a much easier install.

The reason this is better for noisebridge is a proper elevator at noissebridge would require modification of both the first floor (pit), the hole between the floors, and the ceiling / roof, as we would need 10 feet on the second floor while we only have 8 feet.

Problem with the wheelchair lift, is that the have a 14 foot max length normally, and our first floor is 15.5 feet. So we need to add a ramp to get that distance down.

Any comments from the current crew of noisebridge spaceship

current calculations would be a 20 foot ramp would get us the 1.5 feet of gain.

TJ- Where would the ramp go

Rikke- Zig Zag

TJ- Will the lift be usable for those without a wheelchair but have stair dificulty

Dan- That makes sense

We could also use a really long ramp to get to the second floor.

Or we could install a 2 foot wheelchair lift to get you to the start of the next wheelchair lift.

Dan- THis will still need permits, and we definitly need to get landlord permission now. And then get some fundraising.

Rikke- We definitly need some professional input from the people who actually do this type of installs.

Oeder of Operations

Get professional input

Get approval for option from landlord

== Discussion Item 2 ==
Proof of Noise -- The Matrix / mail, yo

This is ME- I want to see if noisebridge is interested in have kits and stuff for sale, including privacy related projects like TFC, and OHSNAP projects.

Add proof via cryptology showing that it is secure and it was built at noisebridge (pr00f of n01s3)

Pyconaut- Noisebridge can also do Fiscal sponsorship for projects. Check concensus item histor for June 2016.

Pyconaut- There is presidence for selling suff out of noisebridge, we have a store, and we have sold electronics kits and hacker passports before.

Dan- This proof of noise is a really cool idea, especially for security hardware, where verifying of hardware is importaint.

Pyconaut- I am definitly interested in the proof of noise (I live actually useful blockchains, and cryptographic verification).

There are already some intrest in TFC nodes.

Current issue for the TFC and OHSNAP projects is that they need a private mailing list, on its own mini server. This is a call for help with this.

Pyconaut- If this mailing list does get created, it would be nice if the process is well documented for future noisebridgers who want to creat their own mailing lists.

Dan- How can we walk this secure hardware line that the gov likes to keep a check on. Maybe get in touch with EFF. How do we know who will be buying this hardware, how do we secure noisebridge, and still make the hardware accessible and open.

Pyconaut- There is a interesting line with this type of stuff- Do we sell to everyone, or do we choose who we sell to (are we willing to sell hardware to unexellent people in the name of being open, and not creating walled gardens / private clubs of who can get our hardware). Having all the code and hardware designs be open source public could help alot, and could allow us th choose who we sell to without locking people out from doing stuff themselves.

== Discussion item 3 ==
Status check in

Electro.noise- Is noisebridge Open?

Pyconaut- No.

Dan- Noisebridge is still closed, due to continuing pandemic, and also needing a lot of work building out the new space. If you are a knowledgeable volunteer, please get ready to help with the upcoming buildout.

Pyconaut- If you want to know how you can currently help, please come to tuesday meetings, or check in with some of the currently active people preparing the buildout in diferent aspects.

Tina- What about people who are fully vaccinated.

Dan- Right now it is less about vaccine and more about people who are knowledgebale, and willing to help.

TJ- It is helpful though to be vaccinated. If you can get it, you should.

Dan- Right now we are still going to treat everyone equal (masks, distance, households). Right now the main projects are cleaning and maintaining our invintory.

Right now SF is in Oarnge teir of california Covid infection rate.

Dan- Also the mission has a higher rate of infection then a lot of the city, so we need to be even more careful.

TJ- "indoor businesses open with modifications" is orange tier reopening level.

Pyconaut- Noisebridge currently is not able to do the modifications nessassary for opening in this teir, at this time.

Dan- Also Noisebridge is in One of the Highest rate locations of SF. https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/Map-of-Cumulative-Cases/adm5-wq8i#new-cases-map Zoom in to where noisebridge is. Although Noisebridge is safe inside, it is getting there, and if you need to get food that is the danger.

Pyconaut- We are also unsure how SF will move out of oarnge teir (will it wait tell every part of SF is out of the Oargen tier, or will it move to a neighborhood basis, or will it stupidly treat all of SF the same even if it isn't.)

Faa.noise-

Our lease

On March 3, 2021, SF reopened some businesses after being moved into the State's Red Tier

"The parties acknowledge the current COVID-19 pandemic, and related current and potential future local, state, and national government orders requiring or encouraging businesses such as Lessee’s to remain closed to the public (the “COVID-19 Orders”). The parties agree that this Agreement shall commence on the first day of the month following the lifting of the last of the applicable COVID-19 Orders (the “Commencement Date”.

Dan- Thank you Pyconaut foir taking notez.

== Discussion Item 1 ==
Cory:
Joined today at Naomi's request to talk about challenges for Noisebridge in setting up shop, don't repeat mistakes from last space in new space, make it easier to pass inspection

Been part of making makerspaces for about a decade. Helped start Tech shop in 2006, contributed to NB since 2008. Now part of HumanMade.org, 1. Makerspace like Techshop (manual machine, textile machine) , and 2. members only, not like Noisebridge

When developing shops, can connect you with contractors, shop people, etc. to create shops that would help pass city inspection.

Working with SFMade, a nonprofit that makes sure shops exists in SF, education is brought to at-risk communities, bring together workforce management.

Why with noisebridge
Connect contractors for getting things passed, Noisebridge is an education institution. Hope SF Made's resources (consultation, paperwork at *reasonable* rates) can cut through red tape.

If you have questions, feel free to ask Cory, and will answer the best he can (outside of beuracracy), and can make introduciton.

One question: who would be willing or best able to have conversation with SF Made? Experienced red tape, contracts, zoning. Could help SF get a building?

TJ- Who did our current lease? Our previous lease.
some mitch did it supposedly

Pyconaut- I definitly think Noisebridge should reach out to SFMade (I have asked muntiple times), but do not know if I would

TJ- It is hard to ask general group

Dan- Might know someone.

Dan- X is affiliated with noisebridge and owning. IDK if he wants to do it, but I think he could at the very least get a contact.

TJ- I don't want X to do it as he already is doing a lot for noisebridge.

X - Had a good conversation with Human Made and would imagine having a similar conversation with sfmade at somepoint. As TJ is saying, it's too early in my opinion to get involved in this specifically as pretty much soley dealing with managing everything day to day to get the space ready to ramp up and make sure all our other paperwork and communications are covered. Would vary much appreciate more volunteers to communicate with others, and work on maintaing ongoing activites and needs.

X - Would be happy to work with anyone else that volunteers on specific strategies and plans once they are outlined.

Pyconaut: I'd be happy doing it myself since it has never been done. Considering that I"m supposed to be someone that "supositly" does outreach for noisebridge, it would be good if I actually tried to be more active about it. But I know I already do quite a bit for noisebridge, so I know I might not be a great fit.

X - footnote on external communications, please co-ordinate at meetings on anything that might involve interacting with landlord or the city directly, as this has caused us problems in the past. Tyler is generally the best check on interaction with landlord. I have been loosly keeping in touch with the city.

xorey: perhaps we can make this decision later. More importantly we should focus on what should be asked and what to focus should be on.

pyconaut: that makes sense so that could make us decide who should go to them based

dan: they are don't want to waste our time with us right? so lets make someone that works well with them other than xorey.

xorey: what?

dan: is there a personality type that we can choose to send to this group other than you.

Xorey: one thing I'll say is that they are in high demand and are very strictly business. They work fast and intuitive and they are also under many time constraints. so they need somone consice and answer and know about the innner workings of noisebridge and knowlege of the buerocratic interface with the rest of the world.

TJ- are you asking for people with administrative experience? negotiating with contracts and noisebridge.

Xorey: also someone that can make a sales pitch and knows about the history of noisebridge

Dan: Admin experience, and future knowledge is a bit out of my depth, but I know some history and have been around a while, and seen our city issues before.

X - contacting/dialoging with SFMade sounds like something that we could start with over e-mail, pyc you want to start drafting something that we can circulate?

Pyconaut- Sure, what should I add other then an introduction.

X - hi we are noisebridge, we have x space in the mission and planning how to open later this year with activities like ....., can you help us in our overal planning and interfacing with the city or potential contractors.

X - Also priority construction project, aside from covid ventalation, putting in a lift/elevator.

Pyconaut: having a group of people for diverse experience to send to this at the beginning, might be better then a single person at the moment.

ringer interupts

TJ: We have ADA compliance, building an elevator, a wood shop, ventilation. what is is list of things that we can do immediately?

TJ: I think most of these things apply to what we could do with SF made (ADA, elevator, ventalation)

X - Zoning clearence has not been completed, specific recognized classification of activities, community space, light manufacture, other.

X - Capacity per floor/room, fire compliance, extinguisher, exits, etc.

xorey: SF made has helped many businesses with many of these issues, but I"m not sure about ADA, but possible. Definately for the wood shop and metal shop.

Pyconaut: if we are an educational shop we'llprobably need to meet OSHA compliance and do OSHA training. I'd expect Humanmade to know something about that.

xorey: we were both thinking about education. When we approach SFmade we must talk about what we provide. Vocational education is very important and gives python education to anyone we could also do OSHA safety education. THere is also some formal education at noisebridge which is a good community service. This is a good reason that they'd contact us and speak to the mission of SF made. I must leave I"d love to help you with these things. If you want to contact me please contact me at [[File:Coreyfro.png]]
Coreyfro (at) coreyfro (dot) com I typed it in the notes cya later!

Carl- this also could help with knowledge that I need for a hackerspace I am getting setup in Haward.

nthmost shows up and reads some notes

Actions are
1 find who at SFmade to contact
Nthmost says that they can do this

2. Write an email to send to them and have people look it over
Pyconaut / X both are interested

== Discussion Item 2 ==
New Modality group interested in working with noisebridge disaster prep
Shared Slack channel: #disaster-prep

Aspects of community resilience:
How do we prevent noisebridge from having another 2018
How do we survive disasters.

What projects do we as noisebridge want to do.

6pm PST on thursday (except on 5mof), tell 10 or whenever people leave.

12 noon PST on Saturdays

Will be better to see noisebridge people on days other then Burocratic nonsense Tuesdays.

= End of Meeting =
Aquatic Ape Theory?
Frozen time slows down brain?
What is Clubhouse?

0) '''Respecting (recently updated) SF requirements relating to coronavirus pandemic''', Noisebridge is temporarily closed for "business as usual". Whatever details, safe to say for the foreseeable future: '''no in-person "events"''' (classes, tours, parties, etc). And most activities related to the buildout should probably hold off for now - let's stick to '''Minimum Basic Operations''' to be on the safe side. Take a break folks!

1) Going forward, '''limit number of people indoors''' at 272 Capp to '''3 downstairs and 3 upstairs''' - whenever knowledgeable volunteers can safely get back to work building out the new space. "Buddy System" to encourage effective social distancing, masks and like seriously - '''no more indoor dining ffs please enjoy your snacks and drinks outside thanks'''.

2) Knowledgeable Volunteers are encouraged to facilitate safe and productive use of the space. '''Knowledgeable Volunteers schedule work in advance and coordinate efforts as much as humanly possible.''' Knowledgeable Volunteers are best volunteers! Because they schedule in advance and don't mess around in the space too much! '''Knowledgeable Volunteers are welcome''' and will be supported in their relentless pursuit of excellence.

3) Prioritize some projects to safely open the the space for more participants, such as '''ventilation''' and making good use of the '''outdoor space'''. Allocate funds and '''encourage donations''' for these "phase zero" buildout expenses - for example might could '''budget $1000''' for some of the fans and shop stuff (tbd, not going crazy with stuff here but should arrange to expedite any necessary purchases in the interest of Moving the Project Forward). Basic safety equipment such as '''fire extinguishers and exit lighting must be deployed''' as well, prior to other any other significant work being done by volunteers in the physical space.

4) Autoexpiration: Unless '''re-consensed after being in effect for 90 days''', these extraordinary restrictions should be considered obsolete - and open to reasonable modifications at any point as things change. We should check in at least every 4 weeks to refresh details and reconfirm relevance. We can take it from there to increase capacity as conditions permit.

Anyway. This proposal for (formal) Consensus claims to reflect the current state of affairs and a rough consensus of volunteers working to build out the space. It's been going great so far and we'd like to keep it rocking - safely. Further suggestions, questions, support (and moar volunteers!) from the broader Noisebridge community would be most welcome at this point.

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

"Buddy System" to encourage effective social distancing, masks - '''no more indoor dining ffs please enjoy your snacks and drinks outside thanks'''.

2) Knowledgeable Volunteers are encouraged to facilitate safe and productive use of the space.

3) Prioritize some projects to safely open the the space for more participants, such as '''ventilation''' and making good use of the '''outdoor space'''.

0) '''Respecting (recently updated) SF requirements relating to coronavirus pandemic''', Noisebridge is temporarily closed for "business as usual". Whatever details, safe to say for the foreseeable future: '''no in-person "events"''' (classes, tours, parties, etc). And most activities related to the buildout should probably hold off for now - let's stick to '''Minimum Basic Operations''' to be on the safe side. Take a break folks!

1) Going forward, '''limit number of people indoors''' at 272 Capp to '''3 downstairs and 3 upstairs''' - whenever knowledgeable volunteers can safely get back to work building out the new space. "Buddy System" to encourage social distancing, masks - no more indoor dining ffs.

2) Knowledgeable Volunteers are encouraged to facilitate safe and productive use of the space. '''Knowledgeable Volunteers schedule work in advance and coordinate efforts as much as humanly possible.''' Knowledgeable Volunteers are best volunteers! Because they schedule in advance and don't mess around in the space too much! '''Knowledgeable Volunteers are welcome''' and will be supported in their relentless pursuit of excellence.

3) Prioritize some projects to safely open the the space for more participants, such as '''ventilation''' and making good use of the '''outdoor space'''. Allocate funds and '''encourage donations''' for these "phase zero" buildout expenses - for example might could '''budget $1000''' for some of the fans and shop stuff (tbd, not going crazy with stuff here but should arrange to expedite any necessary purchases in the interest of Moving the Project Forward). Basic safety equipment such as '''fire extinguishers and exit lighting must be deployed''' as well, prior to other any other significant work being done.

4) Autoexpiration: Unless re-affirmed at a later date, these extraordinary restrictions should be considered '''obsolete by (at the latest) March 14th 2021''' - and open to reasonable modifications at any point as things change. Probably should refresh details and reconfirm relevance at least every month or so. And we can take it from there to increase capacity as conditions permit.

Anyway. This proposal for (formal) Consensus claims to reflect the current state of affairs and a rough consensus of volunteers working to build out the space. It's been going great so far and we'd like to keep it rocking - safely. Further suggestions, questions, support (and moar volunteers!) from the broader Noisebridge community would be most welcome at this point.

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Providing disability access information on the main website (noisbridge.net) in a clear and easy to access way.
This information should include:

b. A point of contact for disabled people to ask questions specifically around disability and gaining access to Noisebridge (phone, email, etc. - more options the better).
c. Information on how to request disability accommodations to attend.

| Capacity Cap at 272 Capp Under Construction and Further Restrictions in this Time of Contagion
|
0) '''Respecting (recently updated) SF requirements relating to coronavirus pandemic''', Noisebridge is temporarily closed for "business as usual". Whatever details, safe to say for the foreseeable future: '''no in-person "events"''' (classes, tours, parties, etc). And most activities related to the buildout should probably hold off for now - let's stick to '''Minimum Basic Operations''' to be on the safe side. Take a break folks!

1) Going forward, '''limit number of people''' indoors at 272 Capp to '''3 downstairs and 3 upstairs''' - whenever knowledgeable volunteers can safely get back to work building out the new space.

2) Knowledgeable Volunteers are encouraged to facilitate safe and productive use of the space. '''Knowledgeable Volunteers schedule work in advance and coordinate efforts as much as humanly possible.''' Knowledgeable Volunteers are best volunteers! Because they schedule in advance and don't mess around in the space too much! '''Knowledgeable Volunteers are welcome''' and will be supported in their relentless pursuit of excellence.

3) Prioritize some projects to safely open the the space for more participants, such as '''ventilation''' and making good use of the '''outdoor space'''. Allocate funds and '''encourage donations''' for these "phase zero" buildout expenses - for example might could '''budget $1000''' for some of the fans and shop stuff (tbd, not going crazy with stuff here but should arrange to expedite any necessary purchases in the interest of Moving the Project Forward)

4) Autoexpiration: Unless re-affirmed at a later date, these extraordinary restrictions should be considered '''obsolete by (at the latest) March 14th 2021''' - and open to reasonable modifications at any point as things change. Probably should refresh details and reconfirm relevance at least every month or so. And we can take it from there to increase capacity as conditions permit.

Anyway. This proposal for (formal) Consensus claims to reflect the current state of affairs and a rough consensus of volunteers working to build out the space. It's been going great so far and we'd like to keep it rocking - safely. Further suggestions, questions, support (and moar volunteers!) from the broader Noisebridge community would be most welcome at this point.

[[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]] ([[User talk:Ⅹ|talk]]) 05:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Proposed edit to include "We noisebridge are committed to making activities accessible to as many people as possible."

It is without a doubt that Noisebridge has, under the throws of coronavirus, become more accessible to disabled people than it has ever been before. After years of hardship with a broken elevator, it has been a wonderful shift in these recent weeks to take part in meetings again via new remote options. As a wheelchair user and severely disabled member, I cannot always take buses to the space and I know other disabled members have similar challenges.

Let us move forward as a community and continue this improvement in accessibility. Let us not take steps or rolls backward after the physical space re-opens. We are learning the value of access as a community together, and all the good things that come with it.

This consensus proposal Is for:
1. Continuing video and/or audio attendance options for Noisebridge General Meetings (usually on Tuesdays), specifically for disabled people as a reasonable disability accommodation, as outlined by [https://www.ada.gov/taman2.html Title II] and [https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titleIII_2010/titleIII_2010_regulations.htm Title III] of the [https://www.ada.gov/2010_regs.htm American with Disabilities Act].

''"'title III of the Act, which requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable," or to provide goods and services through alternative methods, where those methods are "readily achievable'"

''"Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense."
