I personally support sudo's policy on this, rather than a policy in which
you cannot ban someone from a space for safety issues until mediation is
handled. It is not possible to keep an area a safe space if people cannot
be asked to leave until mediation (which should be conducted off property)
has been facilitated. (Obviously sudo's policy in general is going to stick
in a sudo room issue, but I thought I'd bring it up because I have a lot of
~feels about it.)
Someone temporarily losing access to the Omni is not nearly as concerning
to me as facilitating a culture in which we keep people around who have
repeatedly made people unsafe or participated in acts of violence.
I also feel like large public meetings on matters like these facilitate
shaming the person of discussion more than they promote fairness. And if
the person in question is there, people feel unsafe and honest discussion
can't happen anyway.
I also agree that it's tough when it's someone known well to the community
rather than an unestablished stranger. However, I think rather than looking
at it as a ban, one could look at it as giving Elliot the space and
resources to heal and strengthen, which is clearly not happening in this
community, with the hopes of at some point welcoming Elliot back to sudo
with open arms.

I think the notion of a universal fairness that can be applied to all
people in all situations is kind of problematic... I think applying (or
claiming to apply) the same rules in every instance fails to take into
consideration things such as upbringing, culture, class, education, mental
and or emotional ability.
I do think we should take into account the person and their relationship to
our community. Obviously, if someone is making someone feel unsafe, I
think it's okay to ask them to leave but the reason why strangers are often
kicked out for less w/out thinking twice is generally because the
relationship that *is* the community is not there in the same way it is for
people who we interact with every day.
I don't have an answer and I know that's probably annoying but I would like
us to challenge a cookie-cutter approach to dealing with individuals and
situations - at least to have a conversation about it even if we continue
to employ the existing model in the meantime.
Maybe implementing a system that is more nuanced is impossible on a larger
scale but I would like to consider it. A topic for visioning / strategy
session, perhaps...

i think people we know can be easier to read/predict than people we
don't, which could convey a sense of safety to some, and perhaps
confusion to others who perceive that rules are not being applied in a
fair or just way.
the problem of how to scale conflict resolution as the number of members
and visitors grows i believe will hinge on the willingness of new
members to learn about our existing conflict resolution procedures and
A) volunteer to take a role in the process, B) review these procedures
critically in light of new evidence and take the time to propose
revisions. it would certainly be problematic to have the same people
who take care of the day to day running of the space also default to
mediating multiple simultaneous conflicts. we are seeing huge uptick in
interest in the space and our success very much depends on thorough
onboarding.

Sent this a couple days go, but I forgot to hit 'reply all':
True, though, that we have parted ways with members, and guests, for less
than [multiple physical incidents?] - comrade or not.
While case-by-case is my prefered language, I also always stand by a Zero
Tolerance for abuse toward another loving being.
From what I've read, this seems the logical mean
answer:
For the sake of Safer Spaces, let's ask that Elliot appreciate a
request
that they take leave, until we find a resolution...
For the sake of nuance and case-by-case, I'd bet we could find someone
who's known Elliot for a handful of human time increments, who would be so
kind as to reach out to Elliot. This person might then glean what's going
on with Elliot, and how he feels we (all) should/can procede with these
issues.
Then, for the sake of precident, if Elliot is willing and able, we can
follow the guide and set on to conflict resolution...
The rest is (in theory) easy, I'd say.

The path forward for those interested in pursuing this issue is to put it on the sudoroom
meeting agenda, and show up prepared to discuss a proposal. No one involved in this issue
was present at the sudo room meeting last night. In all honesty we could really use more
participation in those meetings by regular members other than Marc, myself and Matt.

Hey all,
I am regularly moved by the sudo room community's compassion.
However, allow me to re-iterate a selection of my original message, facts
and my personal positions that have not changed:
this is the second time in our new location (I was present the first time)
... of Elliot escalating a situation to a physical,
even violent, response
on his part.
We must differentiate patterns of behavior from isolated incidents. This is
a pattern, and I think it reasonable to anticipate the risk of repeat
behavior.
I am no longer willing to tolerate this behavior
Nor do I believe anyone should.
[Elliot's continued participation is] ... a greater cost, and even greater
potential risk, than a revocation of his privilege to
use the space.
Consequences are hard to deal with, but we, as individuals, must hold
ourselves and each other responsible for our actions.
It has become more and more obvious to me that when individuals take
advantage of their access to the commons, it is most critical for our
community to act as stewards, to show resolve that such behavior will not
be tolerated, and that paths to reconciliation begin with recognizing that,
if necessary, the privilege to access the commons can, and will, be taken
away.

There needs to be clear guidelines surrounding who can access the
commons otherwise the commons deteriorates.
If someone breaks a rule, they should be subject to consequences.
Is there no policy guideline surrounding physical violence in this commons??

Consequences are hard to deal with, but we, as individuals, must hold
ourselves and each other responsible for our actions.
It has become more and more obvious to me that when individuals take
advantage of their access to the commons, it is most critical for our
community to act as stewards, to show resolve that such behavior will tolerated, and that paths to reconciliation begin
with recognizing that,
if
necessary, the privilege to access the commons
can, and will, be taken
away.

constraints of time and under the condition of sharing.
* SUDO ROOM strives to make assets and resources available to as many
non-member participants and beneficiaries as possible.
* Note: no personal property should be stored in SUDO ROOM unless a
system for personal storage can be provided by SUDO ROOM.
* Note: the use of SUDO ROOM environments for habitation and/or
domestic use is strongly discouraged.
* Approved discounts and services negotiated through the collective
purchasing power of SUDO ROOM.
* Items are up to the discretion of SUDO ROOM to determine through its
budgeting and decision-making processes.
* A _safe space,_ which is defined as:
* "A place where anyone can relax and be fully self-expressed, without
fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on
account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression, cultural background, age, or physical or mental
ability; a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect and
dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others." -- Advocates
for Youth via Wikipedia [11].
* A place free of physical violence or threats thereof.

There needs to be clear guidelines surrounding

If someone breaks a rule, they should be subject to consequences.
Is there no policy guideline surrounding physical violence in this commons??

New subject: [omni-discuss] Elliot Hughes
To add my voice to the discussion:
- The incidents in this case should not be kept secret but told publicly to
the list. Not that anyone is advancing this, but this should not be a
closed session thing - elliot is part of more communities than sudo, so
lets have the mediator but the circumstances should be public. I don't
think Elliot would object to that.
- May I ask, has elliot already been formally warned against any of this
behavior, or not? It would be good to know.
- It should be noted that in at least 3 of the incidents I know about at
least over the last couple years, the genesis of the incident was Elliot's
attempt to act to protect space and community around him, albiet in an
badly escalating way that I agree is definitely something that has to stop.
Nonetheless I think the intent and circumstance are germane.
For example (to the best of my knowledge here):
The first incident I'm aware of was an altercation with an individual who
if I recall correctly was already banned from another collective, RPS, due
to safe space issues.
In the second instance our landlord back at 2141 set off a bug bomb while
people were working in the space and Elliot forcibly removed it outside.
In the second instance someone jimmied open the door with knife, called
jenny a bitch and had to be escorted out. (This guy had disrupted public
school classes in the past and is a verified creep.)
In the third instance, I hear elliot thought a new sudo applicant (someone
not yet well known in our community) was stealing. Prior to the
altercation, at least one sudo organizer formally expressed concern for
this new member's mental/emotional state. From what I understand its not
clear whether the individual was stealing or not, but I believe this should
be taken into account.
Basically for all elliots faults I do see elliot as someone who actually
tries to protect the space and those around him and I feel that this
information is missing from the conversation about preserving safe space. I
believe intent is not irrelevant and to elliot's mind, I am pretty sure, he
is trying to keep the safe space, not make it less safe. That he does so in
a reckless way is bad but the pattern to me seems to be elliot being
overprotective and escalating.
A caveat is most of my information is second-hand, but I felt such
circumstances are germane.

I emailed Elliot and informed him of my original proposal:
"I propose sudo room in particular revoke Elliot's non-member privilege to
access the sudo room, and therefore the omni commons, until Elliot can
provide the sudo room membership with tangible evidence of a new investment
in the prevention of physical violence and marked improvement of his own
behavior in this regard."
And that I will be bringing this up at the next sudo room weekly meeting.
I also informed him that others may have proposals or amendments, and that
nothing has been decided as of yet.

Consequences are hard to deal with, but we, as individuals, must hold
ourselves and each other responsible for our actions.
It has become more and more obvious to me that when individuals take

New subject: [omni-discuss] Elliot Hughes
I have spoken with Eliot about all of this and second David's point - in
all instances Elliot was very much acting out of defense of the space and
the people in it.
After the latest incident, Elliot told me they were committed to refraining
from future use of physical force in the Omni. They were quite serious in
saying this and I don't take them as someone who gives their word lightly.
Personally, I will be at the next sudo meeting to discuss, but I am
inclined to warn rather than ban. Given the situations David described (
some facts off - it was korl, not me who got told off by the drunk dude; in
the latest instance Elliot restrained but did not 'assault' David T), it
seems clear to me he is more committed to maintaining safe space than
threatening it.

When I was corrected for calling Elliot my comrade I
thought well I don't know, yet, what happened with them
so sould I trust others (as I have been advised to in the past)
and no longer consider them a comrade. It didn't feel right;
and I think that is why his banning feels so strange to me.
Then, finally, at post # 24 DK adds some important specifics.
So I am requesting that the Sudoroom meeting where Elliot' s
banning is discussed be announced on Discuss well in advance of
it's happening.

Point of clarification:
The drunk who jimmied the lock came back for the weekend-long fundraiser kickoff. Marc
informed him that he was not allowed in the space, and he got upset and wouldn't
leave. We called all hands on deck and surrounded him but he still wouldn't leave.
Then Elliot came along, grabbed him by the shoulders, and threw him out the door.
He apologized afterwards and said something to the effect of, "that guy's a total
asshole and was just going to waste our time."

Thanks Jenny.
We most definitely should have a place for all of these incidents to be
available, that's more easily accessible to everyone.
Maybe we can simply adapt our own format of the ban page from NoiseBridges
site? Sone kind of wiki page where all of this info can be housed. For our
own FYI and the consolidation of interactions (would definitely help with
miscomms and clarifications like those above), but also for public
awareness (STP.org has had really good response from a similar
"Untrustworthy People" page).
It could also be a good tool for mediation; for parties involved to be able
to see incident testimony, etc.
Shouldn't be too dificult to set up, right?
To start, I can write up a full testimony of my interaction with drunky,
and already have a copy involving the 4am-squatter* in the sudomtg
archives. I know there are a few other testimonies in there, as well.
Should I rewrite this as a new thread to omni discuss? What else do we have
in place, so far, along these lines (besides sudo ban wiki, etc).
Perhaps the most accessible version of this could be a direct-link via the
front door terminal (anyone know why it's sitting idle in Sudo?).

Why not just make a new page on the omnicommons.org wiki?

Thanks Jenny.
We most definitely should have a place for all of these incidents to be
available, that's more easily accessible to everyone.
Maybe we can simply adapt our own format of the ban page from NoiseBridges
site? Sone kind of wiki page where all of this info can be housed. For our
own FYI and the consolidation of interactions (would definitely help with
miscomms and clarifications like those above), but also for public
awareness (STP.org has had really good response from a similar
"Untrustworthy People" page).
It could also be a good tool for mediation; for parties involved to be
able to see incident testimony, etc.
Shouldn't be too dificult to set up, right?
To start, I can write up a full testimony of my interaction with drunky,
and already have a copy involving the 4am-squatter* in the sudomtg
archives. I know there are a few other testimonies in there, as well.
Should I rewrite this as a new thread to omni discuss? What else do we
have in place, so far, along these lines (besides sudo ban wiki, etc).
Perhaps the most accessible version of this could be a direct-link via the
front door terminal (anyone know why it's sitting idle in Sudo?).

Then there was a second incident, because I did get confirmation that
Elliot 'walked out' a guy who jimmied open the door with a knife - I got
that confirmation from the person who was walked out and yelled at me
about
it, so I'm pretty sure that happened..
