I admit I have been wavering about the mask policy as well, and in
retrospect we could probably have done without in April. But with the
recent upswing in cases, now is definitely not the time to do away with it
altogether.
I think the delegates meeting from last July was when we first agreed on a
mask policy, within the framework of reopening the building for collectives:

And here's where we agreed on mask requirement for events:

Last time I tried to bring up changing the mask policy there was little
desire to have a discussion, and folks wanted me to just draft a new
policy. So far I've had too little time and too much caution to do that
though.
I do think it helps not to change our policy with the slightest change in
the wind though. Yes, it probably would have been safe to lift our mask
policy back in March. But then I'd probably be arguing to put it back in
place this week anyway...

Omni still requires masks for everyone. I've been
wavering on this.
Masks made the work party hard - trying to climb ladders and do heavy
lifting with a restricted oxygen supply really sucks.
I think maybe we could say masks are required when there's more than
10 people in the room or something. Someone would have to make a
proposal.

when I got to Sudoroom, a guy named Patrick was here and not wearing a

welcomed him to sudoroom but I mentioned that
building policy is
presently that
everyone has to wear a mask. He asked me
who's in charge and who made
that
rule, and I explained how Omni is run by
delegates from the individual
collectives etc, and that we were complying with the law I believe.
I would appreciate an update on our situation so that I can answer
questions
about our mask policy more accurately, if anyone
can help me with that.
As for Patrick, he explained that his "spiritual choice" (he doesn't like
religion) is to not wear a mask ever. Then he said that if this is our
policy,
then he will gather his stuff and leave and never
come back.
I asked if he wanted me to contact him if our policy changes, and he
said no,
and left.
