Decision-Making Options
What kinds of decisions need to be made?
Options:
- Membership. Do we have it? If so, what are the levels/ benefits/ rules of engagement & expectations?
- Project Endorsement. When does SudoRoom attach its name and "backing" to a project, if ever?
- Governance. How do we make decisions on behalf of SudoRoom? Are financially-concerned decisions different or do they involve a different group of people vs. other kinds?
- Activities (non-hacking). Will SudoRoom have speakers/ events/ classes? What system or structure do we put in place to facilitate this? Do others need to agree on any aspects of these "extracurricular" activities?
- META and BUSINESS decisions
- Rent? Utilities? Insurance? Liabilities? Changes to group structure? Dissolution?
