Hey sudo,

Up for omni consensus, a proposal to lock the Classroom (the room between the entrance hall and the ballroom along shattuck) up for consenso at the next delegates meeting on May 3rd.

I am wary to say yes as GCEA is currently 5 months behind on rent ($250/mo) and part of the rationale was that "every other collective has locked rooms". Also, i have not seen any attempt made to store project items in a locked cabinet, and the group was effectively not present in the building from January through March. Finally, Global Womens Strike and Chiapas Support Committee, who have been members much longer, would like a room of their own and have never been late on rent ($564 and $200, respectively) or gone inactive from delegates meetings.

This is the proposal and those are my thoughts. Plz discuss.

Proposal from GCEA for 4/20/17:

We are in the process of renegotiating our lease. One of our concerns is
that the room we have been using (the classroom behind the children's
room) is not secure. We agreed to try using the room without a lock, but
multiple items have been stolen including activity folders with personal
information, chargers, books, art supplies and a stapler. We intend to
use the room to hold documents, a laptop, projectors, children activity
folders and other valuables.

Our proposal is to add a lock with a code to the doors to the room.
Anyone who wants to use the room when it is free can get the code from
us. We have discussed this with BAPS and they are in agreement with this
arrangement.

We appreciate your attention to this request.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Almaz
