Greets!
I said I would send deets on a proposed formal relationship between Sudo Mesh and Omni, now that sudomesh is a legit 501c3 with some funding. This was brought up at the
Omni Finance WG meeting the other week, as we're in the process of updating our lease agreements with Omni member collectives.
Proposal: Allocate $100/month to Omni in exchange for storage & meeting space usage, plus a percentage of donations or set amount for ballroom space usage for workshops
* All groups that utilize the building contribute something financially, which enables the Omni to remain fiscally solvent. we've had a free ride for a minute now, and now have financial resources we can share.
** Sample lease agreement attached.
* Optional, secondary proposal: We could become a member collective of the Omni, since Sudo Mesh is its own organizational entity with hella upswing right now. It's mostly a position of responsibility: attending 2x meetings per month (via a Delegate representative, tho all meetings are open to the public. any collective can also go 'inactive' after missing 2 meetings and that's totally okay - we all bizzy) as well as having at least 2 sudomesh members involved in Omni working groups (Robb and I already are, so that req is kinda moot). These meetings are super on-point at this point in time and good learnings for anyone interested in representative democracy, consensus processes, and grappling with issues of intersectional oppression.

** It would entail a written proposal and representation at an upcoming Delegates Meeting (1st & 3rd Thursdays @ 7-9pm)
