Event:2014/06/02 Legal Governance Meeting

In attendance:


 * Sarah, Patrik, Ahnon, Niki


 * We edited our Bylaws!:
 * We'd like to propose these be resubmitted as our official Bylaws.
 * Delegates should send these Bylaws to their respective groups for deliberation over the next week so that we can vote at the following delegates meeting!


 * Some other things we discussed:
 * The Bylaws should be as vague as possible while simultaneously providing a certain amount of protections to us. We agree with Jesse's reasoning about consensus vs majority vote in the bylaws (Jesse's Memorandum:)
 * Our own internal governance document (herein referred to as the "Omni Handbook") should articulate more explicit systems, policies, values, etc. So long as nothing within the Omni Handbook is in direct conflict with our Bylaws, we can safely operate according to these guidelines.
 * At some point we need to work out (in the Omni Handbook) the requirements for a group to become one of the "designators" that can designate a board member for the Omni (e.g. place a lower limit on the number of people that group represents). At that point we should review the existing list in the bylaws, and adjust accordingly - which may include removing some of the existing designators.


 * Things we identified needing to address in the Omni Handbook:
