Announcements

Conflict updates
Rayc
- Ryan (mediator between rayc): rayc has not contacted Ryan.
Nic
- Elliot does not want to share space with him, non-engagement with st.nic, would like the SSP to be enforced w/ the language he's used and people he's hurt in the space
- juul: you are willing to do mediation as long as you don't have to meet with him in person?
- elliot: yes, and with the temporary band that that mediation is done offsite,
- matt: both people off-site?
- elliot: it's my understandin that he's banned pending mediation

- rachel: here here
Doc
- Rachel: Doc has not contacted and did not show up last time, but I was 15m late, though I notified people. I think it's worth calling, but the longer the more time there is to process and grow before going through with mediation. I will call again
- elliot.....
- matt: i think this is heresay and we should discuss it at the appropriate time
- rachel: agreed
- juul: okay

- this is being rerouted to a preliminary conversation between Welcoming Committee and La Commune. it has been removed from the pad as it was not consensed to be there by Welcoming WG. - jenny
- okay, everyone in welcoming seemed all behind do-acratically doing it, Niki at first, but then she alerted me to la commune's concerns
- i for one am totally behind it, that's not the point. we should operate by full consensus whenever possible, and bring things to delegates for consensus once it's fully vetted.
- to work with la commune before posting it to the meeting?
- yeah! i just sent an email with your proposal to welcoming and la commune folks <3
- yeah, i wanted to send it to delegates for that reason, but you're totes right, this is smooter and specifically respectful
- btw i love that you made a fucking sketchup model ;)
- thanks :)
