*Last night's meeting was an important one. We will be meeting on Saturday
at noon at 2141 Broadway for a tour of the space and discussion with groups
and individuals who may be interested in sharing the space.

Proposals for Sudo Common spaces are welcome via the mailing list, and we
will likely be having an online vote by November 6th, with final decision
made in-person by at the Wednesday meeting on November 7th.

Please review our compact, where we have outlined our consensus-based
decision-making process: *

Reinstating the model for the upcoming decision-making process:
-sudo room
-separate groups/individuals

*Matt emphasizes getting really involved in this important decision

*Classroom: is used by others, but is not used enough by Sudoers [matt has
been teaching math on tues-thurs mornings 7:30-9am; Regular Dancesafe
meetings are also being held in the classroom]

*Marina suggests really waiting until after saturday, once we have a better
idea

Needs/Resources:

- community oriented

*need a date for decision-making
*can fill out survey at event

$7.61 w/ a minimum of 23 paying members for the $175 room

How are we going to run our space collectively? - matt
-Ryan suggests we push to make a decision by Saturday, given urgency of
situation
-Eddan re-interprets this as a call-out for do-ocratic initiative
--Some date after Saturday - eddan suggests election day [nov. 6]
-oct. 28th,
*November 6th [online effort] + wednesday decision

Amendments/Issues:
-future issues could always arise, should put off til the end of november
-one of the rooms should be the federation space - collaboratively paid for
by all members of the federation
