<div class="moz-cite-prefix">One bug / feature of this process is
that we don't have a list of members. So the prospective has to
hang around enough to figure out who the actual members are. Given
that Noisebridge has a lot of non-member attendees, this is a
pretty good test.<br>
<br>
We do put a list of prospective applicants' nyms on our wiki.<br>

Noisebridge asks prospective members to fill out a form with a
name and a way to contact them. They need two members to sign
their form as "sponsors". Their names are read out at 4
consecutive meetings to give people a chance to get to know them
or to object to their being a member. They need to show up at a
meeting after the 4th time their name is read, introduce
themselves, and then people at the meeting (not necessarily
members) can ask them questions. They leave the meeting to buy us
beer and/or cookies, and then members arrive at consensus. Only
members can block consensus and it only takes one to block.<br>
