hi Ira, A comrade is anyone. A member is someone who is a sudoroom member in good standing, which means keeping up with monthly payments. Members are allowed to access sudoroom anytime, and sudoroom is part of Omni, so common zones of Omni commons are available to sudoroom members when they're not in use by other groups or rentals. Anyone can attend meetings, but only members can exercise a block. There may be more information about our bylaws in the wiki, but I'm not sure where exactly. Paying dues is not enough to become a member, one has to go through a simple process of applying for membership, which just takes filling out a few simple questions, and getting at least three members to endorse your application saying that you're a human who doesn't raise red flags. Have you applied for membership in the past? Otherwise, it's easy, just click here: https://sudoroom.org/membership -jake On Wed, 30 Nov 2022, Ira Brightman via sudo-discuss wrote:
