2021/04/27 BOTLab Directors' Meeting

Present

Lighting fire incident - elderly light fitting in corridor caught alight. Jonny Taphouse present. Landlord to replace. No action needed.
All agree that Open evenings / new memberships can commence from 17th May, if roadmap continues, but hackspace needs to be ready in time.
Do we need to update our onboarding process?
- Felix - Yes We should check ID.
- Alex - but we shouldn't keep it on record.
- Proposed process:
  - 1) visitor attends hackspace, gets link to sign up and standing order information.
  - 2) Fill in form (including photo, etc)
  - 3) Set up standing order
  - 4) Return to hackspace - we verify ID, form, standing order, then issue card, reiterate rules!
Two recent grievances received about forum 'trolls', in addition to a catalogue of historical ones. Proposed action is to put up a forum post throwing the topic open.
Propose we should send an email to encourage increasing donation to £15, but not until we are open.
Alex requests cool pictures of people with projects for his showcase.
Nick proposes to that directors must have named roles, to stop membership always falling to him in the future.
- Agreed that in future all directors will have named roles.
- Agreed that three of those roles will be Treasurer, Membership Sec, and H+S Sec
