Discussion on the dichotomy between space saying it has no IP unless it's explicitely granted, and then having the space ask everyone to protect their own things. Concerns that a lot of weird IP things builds a culture where it's okay to ask for NDAs and protecting their projects, rather than focusing on a kickass community.

Max suggests that we dump that off to let people deal with things themselves rather than explicitely dealing with it now

Bylaws test cases basically instead of building legalese, we build test cases that someone else can turn in to legalese

Max has written up 48(?) of them.

Six categories

• membersihp allowed activities use of logo duties of the board harassment
• policy

(edit history of bylaws piratepad follows)

Discussion points:

• Re membership levels, discussion around sustainability versus accessibility, land at the agreement that the board will have the ability per bylaws to set membership dues for membership levels
• Re closed toe shoes in space, discussion of whether this goes in policies or bylaws, decision to drop that test
• Discussion around safety killswitch (line 6), seems quite ambiguous, decision to shelve it for later to come up with proper phrasing
• Line 13 punted after much discussion about what that covers, whether it's a loophole rather than dealing with the right problems, etc.
• Punted 16, off in the weeds discussing this one Line 30 punted, discussion
• necessary Line 33,34 punted Discussion around who should be able to vote,
• whetherunattending membership should be allowed to vote, etc. Tabled for later meeting
