==Compact in a nutshell== | |||
*Purpose | |||
<blockquote>"sudo room is an association of individuals (called "sudoers") established to collectively support a creative community and hacker space, with corresponding values" like openness, safespace, and do-ocracy.</blockquote> | |||
*Membership | |||
To be a member you have to pay the monthly fee; but you don't have to be a member to participate. | |||
Necessarily some members are more member than others, there can always be a vote for: the ''facilitator'', the ''scribe'', and the ''exchequer''. | |||
*Friends-with-benefits | |||
Anything that sudo room owns, you can use. Plus we buy things together. | |||
*Decisions, decisions | |||
Quorum is 10 people. | |||
Financial decisions, and endorsements need consensus. | |||
Termination of a member is 2/3 vote, after a tribunal. | |||
*Budget a la mode | |||
Sudo room tries to be a firm, possibly nonprofit, in California for tax purposes. | |||
Anyone can do the budget, which is open. | |||
The point of the budget is to reduce monthly fees, and issue soft dividends; but also to keep rainy-day money and no surplus. | |||
*Ch-ch-ch-changes | |||
Changes to the compact require consensus. | |||
