Not sure whether or not it's necessary under the process Yardena described, but I second Max's nominations for the Board. I also hereby nominate Max (notconfusing) for the Board as well. Is there a particular number we're shooting for in terms of the Board? For reference on what a non-profit Board does (assuming an active board, which I understand currently is not what we want) - the Nolo Press page at http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/building-nonprofits-board-30046.html… useful, I think. sent from eddan.com On Oct 24, 2013, at 7:56 AM, Max Klein <isalix(a)gmail.com> wrote: I Max (notconfusing), nominate Jordan (yardena), Marina (mk30), Vicky (ykciv), Liberty (thattechgirl), Kare (kkr), and Jenny (tunabananas) for board membership.

I missed this meeting and most sudo general due to a public school class at the same time.. not sure if this disqualifies me from weighing in, or if some i nominate have perhaps already precluded/disinclined themselves from being nominated, but i thought I would add my 2c here, (which y'all are also free to totally disregard if course if needs be) - Marc (marcjc) Matt (mattsenate) Jenny (tunabananas) Jordan (yardena) Marina (mk30) J.C.

I'll email you off-list with the details of our insurance for Double Union.

I'd like to help out with this research - to compare and contrast the different insurance agreements, in regards to terms and conditions. A sample of groups that include heavy machinery, bio-hacking, kids programs, and eCommerce (products & services) would be the ideal for the essential stuff we'd need to worry about. It would be very useful to do some kind of mash-up overlapping this comparative chart with the ongoing Oakland zoning conditions research. I know there have been various efforts - does anyone have a sense of where to find this information? sent from eddan.com On Oct 26, 2013, at 4:53 PM, Marc Juul <juul(a)labitat.dk> wrote: To those of you wondering how much liability you'd be taking on, here's a short summary: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/nonprofit-directors-personal-liabili… This assumes that sudo room has liability insurance, which should be top priority as soon we are incorporated (getting liability was a primary motivator for becoming incorporated in the first place.

I suggested contacting a few other California hackerspaces and asking about their insurance policy and pricing and bringing that info to the upcoming weekly meeting.
