I see plenty of consensus here.
1) We all recognize that there is an excess of materials that need to be moved out.
2) We all recognize that the current donation policy isn't selective enough to prevent clutter accumulation.
3) All solutions will require some amount of human labor, and the amount of human labor available will influence what solutions are feasible.
First, I propose we start by placing a hold on new donations until we have a better handle on the situation.
Second: let's make this a real-time discussion. Can we talk about this on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday at 8:30 PM? I think we should continue discussing over email, but I think a live meeting would help us plan how to get control of the current level of clutter and revise the donation policy to rectify the issue going forward.
Also, I really appreciate all the effort so many of you have been putting in. Jake, Yar, Jenny, and Joule, you've each clearly done a lot on this issue and I want to thank you for that.
