[sudoroom] Lease for 2141 Broadway + Meeting Minutes

[Matthew Senate]

At tonight's meeting, we discussed the online vote results with a 16 - 1
favor toward signing a lease for the upstairs "art studio" space in 2141
Broadway. Further, we came to consensus with attending members in support
of signing the lease as well.

We are waiting to hear any comment from the one dissenter who we have not
identified, and to whom we would like to reach out.

I sent a message to George and Laurie and Laurie responded saying we will
have a lease to examine by tomorrow evening. They prefer, if we do sign,
that those listed on the Doing-Business-As (fictitious business name) sign
the lease, which would be myself and Eddan. Thus, it seems reasonable to me
that we should be able to change signatories for the DBA transfer the lease
at the discretion of Sudo Room.

Eddan, if necessary, would you be interested in signing on behalf of Sudo
Room with me?

*Budget Discussion*
- Proposal 1

-Jenny suggests Sudo Working Groups for internal autonomous decision-making
(eg; renting the box office)
-Hol  brings up the possibility of including semi-private
workspaces
-Eddan expresses discomfort with there being any private ownership in the
common spaces, and suggests that
--->Redevelopment office in Old Oakland gives loans to local developments
-Jae: Member shelves in the art room? Erik concurs
-Peer production requires open spaces that negate the possibility for
special treatment (eddan)
-Ongoing projects in the space could have space reserved for them so long
as they report regularly (weekly?) on the mailing list (matt)
-Let's get this space- and then a big warehouse woo! (erik)
-Andrew suggests not a reservation system by commerce but rather,
project-specific areas reserved for a limited time by consensus
-Space allotment SYSTEM (rather than rules..)

-Eddan suggests breaking up the discussion into its components, as the UN
does
-
-Jehan suggests GitTip.com
-Set up an instructable for setting up direct deposits between one's bank
and the Sudo Room account
-There is a reason to resist having a tax structure, and we have
successfully avoided (thus far) the pressure to procure a federal tax ID
-Proposal for hacking on our compact and budget-making process, as well as
new member onboarding process  - Nov. 16th at
