[sudo-discuss] ~ -two urgent proposals for tomorrow's meeting ~

[hol at gaskill.com]

Both projects sound great, interested to hear more about plans to lay
infrastructure for village.  Only concern for (2) is "associated general
liability insurance" - maybe that's something we need to see proof of
before fiscal sponsorship so that Omni wouldn't be taking on any
liability?  I imagine Jesse would know.

> _* Deadline to provide proof of fiscal sponsorship and associated General Liability insurance is October 24th._ There are of course more detailed aspects to each of these proposals, but they remain pending for the time being - our shared deadline is tomorrow before the Delegate's Meeting. In terms of expediting these important projects, we could figure out a way to do this fairly that might include 1) provisional fiscal sponsorship (eg, 1-3 months), 2) abstentions from collectives that have consensus processes but would likely not object, and 3) utilizing old-omni's 501c3 to sponsor The Village, which has the same board as omni but no assets that could be put into jeopardy.
