Proposals

Proposal to Ban Running Wolf from the Omni Commons

Submitted by Laura, 6/14/17

  • Discussed last week
  • Notes redacted for security & privacy purposes - ask Jenny if you want to read them
  • Confirming tonight that he is decidedly not a member and should not be let in unless babysat by the letter-in for the entirety of his stay
  • 4 abstentions, only 3 consensos, no blocks
  • for now, he's not a member and must be let in and leave with whoever lets him in
  • final decision about the ban will be made at the next meeting on July 20th

Proposal to Hold Delegates Meetings on the 1st Thursday of the Month only

  • This was discussed last week
  • Jenny thinks it's a bad idea (tho regrettably will likely miss the next meeting...)
  • Others agree, especially given current circumstances wrt building safety issues

Post - Meeting

  • Gerald arrives and shares his perspective
  • More folks install Signal, and thus join the secure omni phone tree!
