[omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: BIPOC and Oppressed Gender Safe Space Committee (BOGSS)

by Jake

Dear Sudoroom, Today I voted in behalf of Sudoroom in favor of the MOP proposal, and they are now a member collective of Omni Commons. I emailed about them on April 20th but didn't hear anything back, so I hope everyone is okay with that decision. Today a proposal was introduced for a new committee to be formed at Omni Commons to value and protect the safety and interests of BIPOC/Non-Men. this is the original proposal in PDF form: https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/… [View More]20220505/ab900701/a… this is an editable "cryptpad" and we are requested to "please leave comments in red" https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/6IhZqwyXxN6CrEvtiljmnqTa/ actually this is a cryptpad copy of their document just for sudoroom, and I will forward our discussion to Rafiq to integrate our input. Other collectives are asking questions too, so if you want to be more engaged in the discussion, please join the [omni-consensus] list! But definitely make discussion here in the sudoroom list and get engaged. If Sudoroom members have concerns or objections, we need to communicate them promptly and work toward agreeable amedments. It is not an option to simply reject the proposal, but rather if you have specific concerns then we need to work with each other to address those concerns and come up with something agreeable. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Hey all, I'm boosting this email with a new subject line so that it's clear to readers - this contains an important new proposal!!! Brief summary: this proposal forms a congress of BIPOC and non-men from all Omni's groups, who then elect a small committee which has its own seat on the board, its own delegate, and a few specific powers related to addressing racism and sexism. This is an important step towards making omni representative and accountable! This finally begins to put our Statement of Solidarity into action! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: rafiq.ali <rafiq.ali(a)protonmail.com> Date: Thu, May 5, 2022 at 12:16 PM To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> I added a little note at the beginning on our proposal and the events from 2 weeks ago. Happy to provide a short statement. In general, I appreciate the apologies made and think this can be a growing opportunity to forge a stronger collective. If it's possible, we can open discussion on the proposal this week if enough delegates have had a chance to review with the idea of approving at the next delegate meeting (or worst case, the one after). As mentioned earlier, we are proposing the creation of a safe space Committee (see attached). We appreciate and accept all feedback/comments/concerns. In struggle, Rafiq CLP [View Less]

Copying ideas from Retail stores

by Romy Ilano

I'm pretty busy this week and have an art show in Los Angeles next weekend ( https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/los/ver.cfm?event_id=24476779&fuseactio… ) I had a thought about the space, we're always trying to make it more presentable. I think it would be cool to copy concepts from retail spaces - not really like make SudoRoom a store, but like display projects and make things prettier to lure things in. This could dovetail nicely with the hardware hacking / fashion / light projection … [View More]
