We didn't do it officially this time, but in the future, we should probably formally elect a steering committee that makes decisions and regularly reports back to the larger group. I think that might assure the membership that the people making decisions are doing so in the best interest of the whole Hackerspace.
We may need to rethink the practice of creating extra email lists to "spare" non-interested members all the jabber.

I'm confused by the comments about people feeling uninformed. I have personally seen the lease documents and all the discussions about the new space for awhile now. The appropriate mailing lists have been and are open for anyone who is interested to follow. The archives are online.Coop conversion? We've been discussing that for months... check the meeting minutes on the wiki, for example:http://www.atxhs.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes/20120616 I have personally read the new operating agreement and Martin's summary awhile ago.Forums? I sure hope not... I'm spending enough time reading all the available email lists as it is.I'm don't mean to put anyone down, but i'm not sure what could have been done differently.... the information has been available to anyone who wanted to see it. With all the detailed discussions about the new space, etc. the price of being informed is an overflowing inbox. Do we want to swamp the discuss list with all these minutiae?If you can't make meetings, don't want to sign up for email lists, and don't want to read tons of emails, it's going to be difficult to stay informed. I wish I could see an easy solution for that. I don't think creating one more thing to read is the answer. Does anyone have a better idea?

I don't personally feel that lack of discussion is an issue, so much as lack of reporting of information and actions. As I can no longer make it out on Tuesdays, I have been following things from the mailing list and I've found it to be confusing. I was surprised to find out that the co-op conversion went through. I thought there was going to be a vote to ratify the new bylaws. I was surprised that a deal is being signed as the last thing I read was that there were several spaces under consideration.
I think that the people that are spending a lot of time on these issues are talking to each other and assume everyone knows what's going on, while from the point of view of a mailing list reader it's unclear what's happening. I think the solution to this is not to move all of the other mailing list traffic onto the main list, but to have someone that knows what's going on report this information to the main list. It would just be nice to know what's going on. I'm still not really sure and I'm interested.

There is no way to keep up!"...and I just say "I heartily agree, but how do we fix that?"Personally I will officially have to quit these mailing lists if I want to keep my job(s) in a week or two here.--To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/atxhs-discuss/-/l1_wsjLGfmAJ.

19 signed up at the previous meeting. No idea if more signed up after that point.
None of those memberships are valid until they sign their certificate and return it to Martin.
Interesting.
I assume all 19, since they've already paid, will sign and return the certificates.

Talk to Martin (treasurer). He has to send you an invoice, and put you down for one of our 3 payment plans.
All good questions. I know we showed folks how to do it in the meeting, so it'll be in the meeting notes....but it definitely needs to be on our website somewhere. I don't know who is in charge of the website, but whoever you are, get to it!
It does start with an email to the treasurer however, asking for a voting share.
The secretary is currently drowning in responsibilities and tasks. She could use a hand or two getting the notes up to date, and such. Anyone interested in helping, please email her!
However, the quick and dirty of it is....
$100 per voting share, one share per person
Payment plans available, or pay in one lump sum
Absolutely no voting privilages without voting share
'Members'=voting share
'Patrons'=no voting share
No other limitations are set upon patrons, except that they can't vote. All other access (building, tools, classes, etc) are equal.
To start, email Martin. He will invoice you and send you a thingymajigger to sign. After your first payment, sign and return, you can vote.
As I have been informed, that type of mail in voting is only for the big quarterly and yearly meetings. Email proxy voting is still valid for the rest of the meetings.
