Board Meeting Agenda for October 17, 2013
Meeting Time: 7pm
Location: Lenox
5 minute time limit per highest-level bullet point.
All members are welcome to attend, and non-board members can join the conversation when invited.
DanJ to call in by speakerphone
Legal/Financial:
Status on Insurance (both for Makerfest and us)
How often do we want to produce Treasurer's Reports? (bylaws do not specify)
Policies and Procedures:
Adopting PS:One's Anti-Harassment Policy
New member sign up procedure
Member Release is now up to date with By-Laws (two board members must sign off)
Additional requirements suggested?
Require potential members to join public mailing list first?
And require them to post?
Pair them with a member to spend time during Tues/Thurs?
Guests who can't make Tues/Thurs nights can come during Space Improvement Weekends?
Lapsed Memberships/Late Payments
Current By-Laws (Art.2, Sec.5) have not been enforced until now
Those who pay late have their membership suspended
Must reapply as a new member within 90 days and pay dues owed plus next month's dues
Suggestions
Reduce period to 15 days rather than 90
Turn off access on the 1st or 2nd, but do not suspend memberships until 7th each month
