These additions to our articles of association were consensed upon at the previous sudo room meeting. I think they may not have been announced: = Article 5. Empowerment of members = == Section 5.1 Non-member access == * To empower members to deal with problematic non-members: ** Any member may deny non-members access to sudo room assets (and require the non-member in question to vacate the physical space) at any time, with no reason given, unless some other member currently present in the space is willing to vouch for the non-member in question as a guest. ** Before denying a non-member access (and requiring the non-member in question to vacate the physical space), the member must ask both the non-member and the members present in the space if any member is vouching for the non-member as a guest. ** For a non-member, being denied access (and required to vacate the physical space) is not a ban, and the non-member in question may return after 12 hours. == Section 5.2 Domestic Use == The bay area is in the throes of a housing crisis. Despite the abundance of resources (space, buildings, etc), the distribution of those resources is unfair. For many it can be costly and difficult to fulfill the basic human need of shelter. However, sudo room, as a creative community and hacker space, must maintain a division between habitation and usage of the space. As such the following are resolved: * sudo room is not intended to be used for habitation or domestic purposes. * No-one is allowed to sleep in sudo room at any time. * Any member can require that anyone sleeping in sudo room must leave immediately. * Repeated sleeping at sudo room is grounds for being temporarily or permanently denied access to sudo room's assets, including its physical space. ----------------- Our current articles of association are always available here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association
