=Conflict Resolution=
*On
Saturday night, a person who'd been asked by several members to leave
after physically assaulting a sudoer in the space, who'd failed to
engage with the conflict resolution process and had shown up several
times since, was ushered from the space by a number of sudo room and
public school members. In-meeting consensus is to ban Ariel from 2141
Broadway, with one week's notice for a final consensus to be reached
next week.
*We now have no way to get in contact with Tabitha, Arielle's sister, since Tabitha gave Arielle her phone.
=Discussion Spillover=
*General sense of sudoroom's values:
1. Appreciation for the existing assets and resources existent in sudo room (eg common space)
2. Excellent opportunity to collaborate with Counter Culture Labs to share space (economy of scale)
3. Excellent opportunity to continue collaborating with the Public School
4. MORE AUTONOMY. ALWAYS.
* Sudo-kids on thin ice
** Assumption that sudo kids vandalized the space. People kept drawing penises in the bathroom.
** "Children (under 18) should not be in the space except when accompanied by their parent(s) with advance notice to us."
**
1. Address the bathroom vandalism issue and disambiguate it.
2.
We have a family-oriented night with adult supervision, which would
occur regularly on Tuesdays. We require that all children be here with
parent supervision.
3. How do we remain accessible to people of all age groups?
4. If there is a regular kids/family event, someone needs to assume responsibility (ambiguous?)
