[sudo-discuss] [consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

[Eddan Katz]

I'd like to help out with this research - to compare and contrast the different insurance agreements, in regards to terms and conditions. 

A sample of groups that include heavy machinery, bio-hacking, kids programs, and eCommerce (products & services) would be the ideal for the essential stuff we'd need to worry about.

It would be very useful to do some kind of mash-up overlapping this comparative chart with the ongoing Oakland zoning conditions research. I know there have been various efforts - does anyone have a sense of where to find this information?
