New page

== Check-in ==
* Present: David (BAPS), David B. (Bookstore Cafe & BAPS human rights observer status), Andrew (Hacker Spa), Olive (SALTA/Dancers), Niki (Bookstore Cafe), Mara (SALTA/Dancers), Jeremy (ONL), Yar (Sudo Room)
* Missing, presumed eaten by narwhals: Otis, Lauren

== Values ==
* David Keenan reads: [[Omni_Collective_Proposal|Public School vision]]
* Mara reads mission: [[The_Omni/Visions#Dancers|Dancers vision]]
* Andrew reads: [[The_Omni/Visions#Hacker_Spa|Hacker Spa vision]]
* Niki reads: [[The_Omni/Visions#Bookstore_.2F_Cafe| Bookstore/Cafe vision]]
* Jeremy speaks: "ONL highlights local culture & passion"
* Yar reads: [[Building_Bloc|Sudoroom vision]]
* Niki suggests: That the Building Bloc cobbles together one statement from all the delegates' statements
** Andrew: And there's already omnicollective.org. Let's make a running list of alternative names.
** David suggests not bikeshedding now (vis-a-vis names)
* digesting our divers visions into one vision
** Mara: who wants to work on it?
** Niki: lets put this together (synthesize visions into one) BEFORE next omni meeting so we can vote on it next time
** David says we should keep promotion/marketing in mind. succinct byline to agree on.
* David Brazil suggests we formally consent on his [[The_Omni/Structure_statement|writeup of our raison-detat]]
** we should modify the list of groups present/recognized
* Niki suggests we also start thinking about drafting:
** Safe space policy
** Code of conduct
** Conflict resolution process
** DK suggests we refer to Sudoroom's

== Outreach ==
* AK Press is maybe in?
* buying is a lot more attractive narrative than renting
** if you're buying it: we're taking it off the market! radical ownership enclave!
** if you're renting it: "help us pay our rent"
* is it ok to post pictures publically yet?
** DK is wary of tying publicity to the omni, that one building
** Niki suggests we not be officially called Omni Collective
*** but make it clear our current primary project is acquiring that building

== Legal ==
* Incorporation
** donors will ask about this. they can't give you money unless you exist.
** needs to be resolved before fundraising starts
** Disambiguation of incorporation vs 501c3
** we need to write bylaws
* Lawyer friend is not available for the next 2 meetings

== Money ==
* many anonymous donors have offered support already, in particular with "getting over the hump" of first/last/deposit etc
** some might have agendas / strings attached
** they tend to not want to be the only one with "skin in the game"
*** need a pool of donors sharing the risk.
*** some might not like our politics...
** "i'm really wary of depending on anonymous donors"
*** fundraising should be done in the open
*** perception of backroom deals
*** "if you want strings attached, maybe this isn't the project for you"
** there are two fundraising approaches, maybe they are both valid. two paths.
*** private anonymous donors are compatible with the public ones
** DB says if someone can give us 20k to get us in the space in a few months, that's worth it
** andrew thinks we should just try to fundraise for the 700k
** Niki thinks that will be a lot easier once we're in the space

== Goals for next meeting ==
* pare down our visions into one page that is appropriate as corporate bylaws
** this enables incorporating in sacramento, which enables a bank account
* decide a name so we can register a domain name and web presence
* next meeting in or around BAPS at 7pm march 6 (tentatively)
