== Bringing Proposals to the Board ==<br />
The Board of Directors is happy to discuss any issue or concern that is appropriate for its consideration. In the interest of<br />
efficiency and equity, please consider the following guidelines:<br />
<br />
- If you have a concern, consider getting together with a few other members to develop a proposal<br />
that remedies the situation. Having the discussion outside of formal meetings helps ensure that the various<br />
points of view are considered in the final proposal and makes it much more likely that your proposal would<br />
be adopted. It also saves precious time at meetings for other issues that may be just as important.<br />
<br />
- Please be considerate of the number of people x duration. E.g., if there are 20 people at a meeting, then<br />
every minute of the meeting is 20 minutes of peoples' time spent. Being prepared to explain your proposal in<br />
a concise and logical form makes it more likely that there will be time to discuss and act on it.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is one of the two nearly identical laser cutters in the space. They have 3'x4' beds and 150 watt tubes. This one is named Bumblebee becasue it is yellow and black, as compared to [[Laser Engraver - Wolverine|Wolverine]], which is yellow and navy blue. <br />
<br />
{{Equipment <br />
<br />
| Name = Bumblebee<br />
<br />
| Owner = Group-owned, purchased with funds collected from far and wide.<br />
<br />
| StorageLocation = West wall, you can't miss it.<br />
<br />
| MakeModel = Jinan G. Weike / WKLaser LC1280<br />
<br />
| Documentation = <br />
The setup manual, [[File:OPERATIONAL_MANUAL_OF_MACHINE_xin_USB.pdf]] is worth reading, if only for a laugh.<br />
Inside the cutter, a [http://www.leetro.com/english/sale/20.html Leetro MPC6515 control board] coordinates the motors and laser firing. Its [http://www.leetro.com/english/down/MPC6515%20%20Manual.pdf documentation] is freely downloadable.<br />
So much grief has arisen from the awful state of the documentation and software, that an entire [http://www.chineselasersupportforum.com/phpBB3/index.php Chinese laser support forum] has arisen for the hapless owners of these machines help each other.<br />

<br />
| Rules =<br />
<br />
If you are not trained yourself, operation of the laser cutter must be done under the supervision of one of the trained operators. (A list can be found on the clip board in the zone) Trained operators are: Matt A., Roger S., Nate B., Terry W., Andrew M. and Devon T. See the section below about Damage Prevention.<br />
<br />
i3Detroit asks that users donate $0.25 per minute or $15 per hour that the beam is active. This is to replace consumables, especially the expensive bulb. There is a wooden donation box. <br />
<br />
===[[:Category:Laser Cutter#Materials | Approved Materials List]]===<br />
<br />
| Instructions =<br />
<br />
Get material that will fit on the bed of the laser cutter, which is 3'x4' (optimal cutting area 34" x 46"): 4 feet wide from left to right, and 3 feet long from the front to the back. Your piece must be able to fit on the bed itself, because the bed will lower to put the surface of your material in focus. However, in case anyone needs to know the whole interior of the bay for some reason: there is 51 inches of clearance between the two rails the gantry runs on (the same width as the machine's bay door). 51 inches is also the measurement from the front lip to the back wall of the machine, but the door itself takes up 3/4 of an inch of that.<br />
<br />
===[[:Category:Laser Cutter#Using the laser cutters | General Instructions]]===<br />
<br />
=== Time-of-cut Checklist ===<br />
# Place material (square to edge of honeycomb).You can also run the head left / right and watch the red dot to see if it moves parallel to the edge of the material. Adjust as needed.<br />
# Cover inactive honeycomb area except an "intake" in front of the material. This directs smoke away from the gantry. <br />
# Turn on POWER STRIP on floor behind cutter. This should bring up the chiller and air-assist pump.<br />
# Gently pinch rubber hose from laser to chiller to trigger chiller alarm, verifying that it's awake.<br />
# Assure the exhaust is open on the back of the unit, right next to the chiller. Slide the door all the way open (to the left).<br />
# If the other machine is not in use, cover the vents at the back of the OTHER machine to increase the exhaust flow.<br />
# Make sure there is nothing obstructing the path of the laser head toward the right rear of the working surface!<br />
# Turn keyswitch to on, and wait for boot and home to complete.<br />
# With the D-pad, jog head over to center of material.<br />
# Check the lens for debris, and clean if necessary, especially if cutting something smokey like wood or MDF.<br />
# Press "Z" to enter the mode to raise or lower the bed. <br />
# Keep one hand over emergency-stop. Press "Datum" to auto-focus. <br />
# Double check the auto-focus with one of the acrylic [[Laser Cutter - Bumblebee#How to use the manual focus gauge|manual focus gauges]]. Tell the zone warden if the autofocus is off by a significant amount. <br />
# Press "Z" again to exit Z mode.<br />
# Wave hand under head and verify that air-assist is blowing.<br />
# Download design from LaserCut software.<br />
# With the D-pad, jog head to start of cut.<br />
# Keep one hand over emergency-stop while using the "Test" button to check boundaries.<br />
# Turn on the exhaust fan (black switchbox on wall).<br />
# Lift the fire extinguisher and set it back down. This verifies that your muscle-memory knows where it is.<br />
# Press "Start".<br />
# DO NOT WALK AWAY. See http://www.thinkhaus.org/2011/04/03/lazzoring-is-serious-business/ for why.<br />
# When cutter finishes, observe elapsed time on LCD and put money into box.<br />
# Also, please remember to turn off the exhaust blower! The furnaces have to put back everything it removes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Manual_Gauge_Use.jpg|thumb|300px|Example of a correctly focused setup]]<br />
=== How to use the manual focus gauge ===<br />
The manual focus gauges are in the laser cutter box. They are small L-shaped pieces of acrylic with "69mm For use with 63mm lens" engraved on them, corresponding to the 63mm focal length lenses currently installed in the laser cutters. To check the focus, place the gauge on the surface of the material you are cutting. The underside of the nib should rest against the top of the knurled fitting, as shown in the pictures to the right. <br />
<br />
To re-cut the manual focus gauge, or to modify the file for a different lens, use the files found in [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/i3detroit/manual$20focus$20gauge/i3detroit/mmWnWmF4f0s/J_HSnur-ZTgJ this thread]. <br />

<br />
=== How To Calibrate The Auto-Focus ===<br />
From time to time the auto-focus gets out of alignment for various reasons gradual or sudden. The depth-finding plunger is at the wrong height. One of two things have usually happened. A: the depth-finding plunger is at the wrong height on the lens cylinder; or B: the depth-finding plunger is at the wrong height in its (gold-anodized) holder. Note: the telescoping of the assembly relative to the crossbar does NOT affect the focus, it affects the height of the honeycomb relative to the outside edge of the laser table when focused.<br />
<br />
To adjust the autofocus, use the plastic gauge (as shown above). Adjust the position of the probe in its holder and the position of its holder on the black tube so that the top of honeycomb surface is approximately even with the surrounding edge, and there is enough of a gap between the holder and the top of the knurled ring to allow the gauge to fit between them. The set screws that secure the probe bracket to the black tube should be below the bottom edge of the crossbeam that supports the laser head.<br />
<br />
When you are done, make sure the nozzle is tight on the end of the black tube (thumbscrew on side is also tight) and the nut that controls telescoping of the lens assembly in the black tube is also secure.<br />
<br />
=== Cleaning the laser head ===<br />
If speed for CUT in 1/8" MDF falls below 20,then check the focus and have a trainer clean both mirrors and lens.<br />
<br />
Trainers:<br />
* Use alcohol from the laser box and cotton ball. <br />
* The convex lens side goes toward the laser. <br />
* The capture ring tool is in the white box. <br />
* Use tweezers for removal of o-ring.<br />
<br />
==== Power and Speed Rankings ====<br />
TW- I have noticed that the laser seems to lose power over time. To better get a handle on this I am going to start running Cut Rankings. Every time I use the laser, I will make a test of small squares on the 1/8 mdf, which is usually around as scrap, for cutting at 100 power. They will be staggered at speeds of 5.10.15.20. I will put the results and date. If others could do this to we might start to see what we need to do. If these settings are outdated, do your own test cuts as too low a speed produces a lot of smoke.<br />
<br />

== Damage Prevention ==<br />
<br />
The most common way the laser can injure itself is colliding its plunger with something when it moves itself. Moving itself takes place during a job, when going to the logical origin that has been set to begin or end a job, or when homing to the upper right corner of the bed. Homing takes place when pressing the Datum button, or when the machine powers on, such as recovering from an emergency stop. <br />
If the plunger is mounted on the wrong side, it can collide with the machine frame during homing.<br />
The plunger can collide with material or with weights that are holding down material. During a job, sometimes a flexible material will lift off the bed through heat curling, or when cutting releases its pent-up spring energy. Continuing the job might cause the head to collide with the newly-emerged edge.<br />
<br />
Only use the auto-focus feature (z-datum) when plunger is over material. Otherwise, the plunger tip goes into the honeycomb without being pressed down, so the Z-motion doesn't stop itself, and crushes the lens head into the bed. <br />
Keep your hand over the emergency stop when auto-focusing.<br />
Everyone should practice hitting the emergency stop button. Pressing the emergency stop does not cause an emergency.<br />
<br />
Be very careful when removing the emergency stop, because it homes itself during every power-on. So, be sure the lens head is free. If the table is so high that the plunger is stuck in the honeycomb, open the lower doors of the laser, manually pull the belts on the screws so that the bed goes down. After this, this procedure will have to be reversed, measuring the distance from both sides of the bed to both sides of the gantry. <br />
<br />
Coolant failure will destroy the laser, so each time the laser is used, squeeze the coolant tube to ensure that the alarm would go off. <br />
<br />
Be sure the exhaust is on, or the smoke gathering in the machine will damage the mechanics, the optics, and any nearby humans. <br />
<br />
Never laser-cut polycarbonate. It is highly flammable, and will produce toxic, highly corrosive smoke. Also do not cut plastics containing chlorine. Acrylic and delrin are currently the only known-safe plastics.<br />
<br />
Before cutting something with an reflective surface, consult a user who is qualified for training or maintenance.<br />
<br />
If material catches on fire, hit the emergency stop, yell "fire", and use the fire extinguisher mounted to the front of the laser. Pull the pin, and spray carbon dioxide gas in a sweeping motion over the flames. It just dispenses carbon dioxide gas, not foam. This will do no damage. It's just loud. <br />

;New cylinders to hold different lenses, <br />
:...to make it easy and safe to change them without smudging or damage. Sector67 has indicated they may make some of these. (The existing cylinder has too narrow an opening for the lens that gives a long focal length. Its beam is so wide that it hits the lip and heats up the cylinder.)<br />
;Payment-measuring timer.<br />
:One way to do this would be to measure current to the machine and time how long it runs at laser-firing power. It would be good to put a button on the timer that would re-set it to zero.<br />
:Another way, used at other spaces, is to use the "blow" output contact from the controller, which is meant to trigger the air-assist, in case bottled gas is being used for special cutting. <br />

| FAQs =<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== TroubleShooting ==<br />
<br />
;When running TEST I get a SOFT STOP message on screen and no test.<br />
:That usually means your cut runs off the laser table. Check your origin point on the file and where you have the laser head starting. Sometimes it means that Logical Origin is set to ON which places your cut off the table, no matter where you have manually set the laser head.<br />
<br />
;How can I turn off Logical Origin?<br />
:To Cancel Logical Origin use the keys on the Control Panel on the Laser and the Control Panel Display.<br />
:# Hit ESC 3 times.<br />
:# Hit the RETURN key (the one with an arrow that goes down and to the left). This should highlight the current file name.<br />
:# Hit RETURN again. This should pop you to the Logical Origin screen.<br />
:# Hit Right Arrow until the field Cancel Logical Origin YES is highlighted.<br />
:# Hit RETURN.<br />
<br />
;My Test doesn't start where my laser head is and I have turned Logical Origin off<br />
*Make sure to check the IMMEDIATE box and save before Downloading AND turn off Logical Origin to allow the origin to be the manually set position of the laser head.<br />
*This could also mean your cut is running off the table, or close to the edge. <br />
<br />
;It takes several minutes or infinite minutes to compile in LaserCut'''<br />
: I have had this happen with some (but not all) DXF files from OpenSCAD. Open the dxf file in CorelDraw and then save it as dxf. It will "clean it up" and you compiles will now be very quick. I have no clue what is happening.<br />
<br />
;When cutting 1/8mdf through it takes 100% and slower than 20 speed.<br />
:Check Focus. If problem persists have trainer clean lens and mirrors. DO NOT attempt cleaning if you are NOT a trainer.<br />
<br />
;When downloading file to laser cutter, no file appears in the DownLoad window or on the laser cutter<br />
: Your file is too big (some combination of actual size and complexity of design) to be transferred via the cord. You can download your design directly to the laser cutter via USB flash drive. <br />
# In the LaserCut Download window, choose "Export file" instead of "Download Current"<br />
# Find the files, a .mol and .txt and put them on a flash drive. They don't need to be the only files on the drive, but probably should be the only .mol file<br />
# Plug the flash drive into the laser cutter USB port. The port is located on the right side of the laser cutter, about 2 feet off the floor near the front edge. (someone should add a picture of the port location) <br />
# The file will be downloaded automatically- it might take a while to download, but it'll give you the progress as it goes.<br />
# Proceed as normal- you should see the name of the file in the menu as usual. <br />
<br />
; The laser head moves through the design, but the laser doesn't fire!<br />
*Laser power setting in LaserCut should be above 17.<br />
*Check the air nozzle to make sure it isn't knocked out of whack and blocking the laser path. Check the mA meter just above the control panel. If it jumps up around 10-40 mA, then the laser supply is firing and just getting blocked<br />
*Make sure the chiller is on (safety interlock)<br />
*Make sure the door is all the way closed. The door interlock uses a small magnetic sensor on the front right bezel into which the door sits when closed. The magnetic sensor requires a small gap between it and the magnet. If the door requires re-alignment, TELL A TRAINER. DO not try to fix it yourself, just let someone know to re-align it so you don't make it worse. <br />

<div>These are the current official documents governing i3 Detroit. Most members only need to be familiar with the standing rules.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
This is the official, legal structure of the i3 Detroit corporation. This information will only be regularly needed by directors and officers. The [[Articles of Incorporation]] establish i3 Detroit as a membership-based corporation, meaning it has two deliberative assemblies ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliberative_assembly definition]): the voting members, and the board of directors.<br />
<br />
Each assembly has rights and responsibilities given to it by the articles and the [[Bylaws]]. Those rights and responsibilities are exercised by voting on written [[:Category:Proposals|Proposals]], which become [[:Category:Resolutions|Resolutions]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(law) definition]) when passed. Resolutions of a deliberative body can be used to authorize any power granted to that body by the bylaws, or to create additional procedures and rules that they agree to follow. In the chart below, legal rights/responsibilities are delegated in the direction of the arrows.<br />

Proposal for Large Project Area, East Wall Zone Shuffle and 3' Expansion of Kiln Zone. Terry W<br />
<br />
* Talked to all Wardens along East Wall and John Sugg (Vaccuuform) by email.<br />
* Proposal is for Large Project Area to be an area from the West edge of the Welding, Plasma, Kiln, Forklift, and Injection zones to a line 18' from the East Wall. We have marked the 18' line for inspection at the meeting.<br />
* The effected wardens would require only Projects be in that area (not furniture or other Group materiel), and Projects be able to be moved (either by having wheels or being on a pallet) so that zone access is not permanently blocked.<br />
* In addition, the East Wall Wardens will be making a proposal to the Board separately to shuffle the plasma cutter into the CNC Zone and slide all zones down. <br />
<br />
* Furniture (big white wall, bBQ, trash cans, etc. Will need to be relocated into the commons area or disposed. Reorganization of the common furniture is not within the scope of this proposal<br />
<br />
* Large Project Area would be marked by Yellow Tape during Potlock<br />

===Proposal Shuffle East Wall Zones and Expand Kiln Zone from 5' to 8' width===<br />
Point of Contact: [[User:darvon|Terry W]]<br />
<br />
The East Wall Wardens propose the Board change the floor plan allowing:<br />
<br />
* to shuffle the plasma cutter into the CNC Zone and slide all zones down. This moves the Plasma Cutter at the Request of CNC Warden Brian W.<br />
<br />
* to slide all the other zones to the South along the wall after the Plasma Cutter is moved to the CNC Zone.<br />
<br />
* To expand the Kiln Zone width from 5' to 8' to accommodate Ceramics use at the request of Kiln Zone Warden Terry W.<br />
<br />
* The expanded Kiln Zone will house the Vacuuform, which is currently in the space with the Plasma Cutter.<br />
<br />
* This will all be done at Potlock. Cost $150 from Potlock funds.<br />

<br />
All of the accounting is now caught up from the transition, including dues logged in the CRM. We will be current from this point onward.<br />
<br />
We have successfully absorbed all the big purchases from the last 12 months. We are now back to more money in the bank than when we started. Although this report is for the fiscal year through Feb 28, I have stated the bank balances as of 3/8 because we had a lot of Jan and Feb dues that were just deposited on 3/5 as part of catching up.<br />
<br />
I recommend that the Board drop the austerity restrictions at the Board meeting and go back to normal budget spending.<br />
<br />

The only reason I don't give an A is that I want to see dues averages for March and April. Our budget has them at $4900 each month and we are probably right at that number, plus or minus a couple of hundred and I would like to see exactly where we are averaging over a longer period.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Template:Guideline}}<br />
All members at i3 strive to "Be excellent to each other." This page gives examples of how to be excellent in different scenarios.<br />
<br />
== In General ==<br />
* It is excellent to strive to be more excellent.<br />
* It is excellent to tell someone how to be more excellent. It is not excellent to criticize someone for not being excellent.<br />
* It is excellent to communicate needs instead of criticisms. Example "I need some table space to work on my project, would you be able to clear any of this table for me to use?" instead of "Look at this mess! You are a horrible human being! This is not excellent at all!"<br />
* It is excellent to broadcast positivity, and channel negativity. Example: Sending thank yous to the mailing list, and resolving disputes with private emails.<br />
<br />
== When someone else is not being excellent ==<br />
* When someone is not being excellent, it is excellent to talk to them in private. It is not excellent to single them out at a meeting or on the mailing list.<br />

== Bringing Proposals to the Board ==<br />
The Board of Directors is happy to discuss any issue or concern that is appropriate for its consideration. In the interest of<br />
efficiency and equity, please consider the following guidelines:<br />
<br />
- If you have a concern, consider getting together with a few other members to develop a proposal<br />
that remedies the situation. Having the discussion outside of formal meetings helps ensure that the various<br />
points of view are considered in the final proposal and makes it much more likely that your proposal would<br />
be adopted. It also saves precious time at meetings for other issues that may be just as important.<br />
<br />
- Please be considerate of the number of people x duration. E.g., if there are 20 people at a meeting, then<br />
every minute of the meeting is 20 minutes of peoples' time spent. Being prepared to explain your proposal in<br />
a concise and logical form makes it more likely that there will be time to discuss and act on it.<br />

<br />
Below is a copy of the notification sent to MC of the motion, which was sent at 8:54 AM EDT October 9, 2013.<br />

I am sending the material below to you at the request of the Board of<br />
Directors. There are two board motions below. The first one was passed by<br />
the board by unanimous vote. The board intends to vote on the second<br />
motion after you have an opportunity to respond as explained in the first<br />
motion.<br />
<br />
Please reply to this email when you open it so I can inform the board that<br />
you have received it.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
Konrad<br />
Secretary<br />
i3 Detroit<br />
<br />
Motion of Intent to Revoke MC’s Membership<br />
<br />
Whereas i3 Detroit seeks to provide a welcoming environment free of<br />
hostility to all members, the board must act when a member exhibits a<br />
pattern of actions that harm our community. MC has made many<br />
positive contributions to the space, but those cannot outweigh the hostile<br />
environment he has contributed to creating.<br />
<br />
1. The secretary is hereby directed to send a copy of this motion and the<br />
Motion to Revoke MC’s Membership to MC via his<br />
email address of record.<br />
<br />
2. The board intends to vote on the Motion to Revoke MC's<br />
Membership at the next practicable opportunity.<br />
<br />
3. If MC voluntarily terminates his membership after the<br />
passage of this motion and before the vote on the Motion to Revoke, the<br />
board will defer the vote on the Motion to Revoke. If, subsequent to such<br />
voluntary termination, MC becomes a member again, the board<br />
intends to vote on the Motion to Revoke as soon after he becomes a member<br />
again as is practicable.<br />
<br />
4. Pursuant to Article 3, Section 10 of the Bylaws, MC may<br />
respond in writing (to i3detroit-board@googlegroups.com) or in person to<br />
the board with regards to the Motion to Revoke before the scheduled vote.<br />
To hear a response in person, the board will make a good-faith effort to<br />
schedule a time when as many board members as possible can attend.<br />
<br />
<br />
Motion to Revoke MC’s Membership<br />
<br />
Whereas i3 Detroit seeks to provide a welcoming environment free of<br />
hostility to all members, the board must act when a member exhibits a<br />
pattern of actions that harm our community. MC has made<br />
positive contributions to the space in the past, but those cannot outweigh<br />
the hostile environment he has contributed to creating.<br />
<br />
1. The membership of MC is hereby revoked, effective<br />
immediately, because the board has determined that he has engaged in<br />
conduct materially and seriously prejudicial to the interests and purposes<br />
of the corporation. This was a pattern of repeated conduct that continued<br />
after he was informed that it was inappropriate.<br />
<br />
a. Meeting one of the grounds for membership revocation in the Standing<br />
Rules: ”The member is a disruption about whom multiple members have<br />
complained.” Multiple members complained when he repeatedly took his<br />
dispute with Nate Warnick over the bike and welding shops onto the<br />
member’s mailing list. Multiple members complained about many of the steps<br />
he took in transforming the bike shop into what he intended would be a<br />
casting zone.<br />
<br />
b. Posting on the mailing list a hurtful personal insult directed at<br />
another member: an intolerable violation of our rule to be excellent to<br />
one another.<br />
<br />
c. Multiple rule violations having to do with bringing in, relocating,<br />
storing, and damaging property. E.g., storing bar countertops not in<br />
compliance with the wood shop storage guidelines, improperly relocating<br />
bike shop tools to the graveyard, relocating robot knife fight arena to<br />
non-compliant storage in wood shop, cutting off the front section of the<br />
bike shop workbench and storing it unsafely in the wood shop, drilling<br />
unsightly holes in the large projection screen, disconnecting and<br />
partially disassembling the Argon-Left-On warning system in the welding<br />
shop, storing a large steel lamp in the power-wheels corner without<br />
parking permit.<br />
<br />
2. The minimum period of revocation shall be 90 days. If MC<br />
voluntarily terminated his membership after the passing of the Motion of<br />
Intent to Revoke and before the vote on the Motion to Revoke, the number<br />
of days after voluntary termination count as if they were days after<br />
revocation for the purpose of meeting the above 90 day minimum period.<br />
<br />
3. The following additional conditions must be met, in the sole judgement<br />
of the board, for MC to be welcome to become a member again.<br />
The primary consideration of the board will be its responsibility to<br />
protect our community from the harmful behaviors that led to the<br />
revocation.<br />
<br />
a. His words and actions as he responded to Motion of Intent to Revoke<br />
reflected our need for everyone at i3 to be respectful to one another and<br />
follow the rules, even in disagreement.<br />
<br />
b. He removed his property from the space in a timely and considerate<br />
manner, reflecting the fact that we rely on both rules and consensus to<br />
make efficient use of a limited space.<br />
<br />
c. He has taken the initiative to repair or provide compensation for<br />
property he damaged, in each individual case working with a zone<br />
warden and/or a board member to reach consensus on the best<br />
resolution.<br />
<br />
d. His presence on i3 social media as a non-member has reflected the need<br />
for everyone at i3 to be excellent to one another. For example, limiting<br />
negative communications to only those recipients who need to know about a<br />
specific problem and can help to resolve it, working to calm heated<br />
discussions rather than fanning the flames, responding to respectful<br />
questions without defensiveness, using language appropriate for a diverse<br />
audience, disengaging rather than continuing an online conflict that has<br />
become counter-productive.<br />
<br />
e. His presence as a guest has demonstrated a consistent focus on positive<br />
contributions to the community and educational mission of i3 Detroit, as<br />
well as a proactive respect for the rules, including the rule that all<br />
guests are required to sign in with a host member.<br />
<br />
4. If MC wishes to return to membership after his membership<br />
has been revoked, he may request in writing (to<br />
i3detroit-board@googlegroups.com) that the board review his status with<br />
regards to the conditions under which he is welcome to become a member<br />
again. This review may be requested no more than one time for each elected<br />
board, i.e., once per year.<br />

Directors. There are two board motions below. The first one was passed by<br />
the board by unanimous vote. The board intends to vote on the second<br />
motion after you have an opportunity to respond as explained in the first<br />
motion.<br />
<br />
Please reply to this email when you open it so I can inform the board that<br />
you have received it.<br />

Thanks,<br />

<br />
Motion of Intent to Revoke NW’s Membership<br />
<br />
Whereas i3 Detroit seeks to provide a welcoming environment free of<br />
hostility to all members, the board must act when a member exhibits a<br />
pattern of actions that harm our community. NW has made many<br />
positive contributions to the space, but those cannot outweigh the hostile<br />
environment he has contributed to creating.<br />
<br />
1. The secretary is hereby directed to send a copy of this motion and the<br />
Motion to Revoke NW’s Membership to NW via his email<br />
address of record.<br />
<br />
2. The board intends to vote on the Motion to Revoke NW’s<br />
Membership at the next practicable opportunity.<br />
<br />
3. If NW voluntarily terminates his membership after the passage<br />
of this motion and before the vote on the Motion to Revoke, the board will<br />
defer the vote on the Motion to Revoke. If, subsequent to such voluntary<br />
termination, NW becomes a member again, the board intends to<br />
vote on the Motion to Revoke as soon after he becomes a member again as is<br />
practicable.<br />
<br />
4. Pursuant to Article 3, Section 10 of the Bylaws, NW may<br />
respond in writing (to i3detroit-board@googlegroups.com) or in person to<br />
the board with regards to the Motion to Revoke before the scheduled vote.<br />
To hear a response in person, the board will make a good-faith effort to<br />
schedule a time when as many board members as possible can attend.<br />
<br />
<br />
Motion to Revoke NW’s Membership<br />
<br />
Whereas i3 Detroit seeks to provide a welcoming environment free of<br />
hostility to all members, the board must act when a member exhibits a<br />
pattern of actions that harm our community. NW has made many<br />
positive contributions to the space, but those cannot outweigh the hostile<br />
environment he has contributed to creating.<br />
<br />
1. The membership of NW is hereby revoked, effective<br />
immediately, because the board has determined that he has engaged in<br />
conduct materially and seriously prejudicial to the interests and purposes<br />
of the corporation. This was a pattern of repeated conduct that continued<br />
after he was informed that it was inappropriate.<br />
<br />
a. Meeting one of the grounds for membership revocation in the Standing<br />
Rules: ”The member is a disruption about whom multiple members have<br />
complained.” Multiple members complained when he repeatedly took his<br />
dispute with Mario Corsetti over the bike and welding shops onto the<br />
member’s mailing list.<br />
<br />
2. The minimum period of revocation shall be 30 days. If NW<br />
voluntarily terminated his membership after the passing of the Motion of<br />
Intent to Revoke and before the vote on the Motion to Revoke, the number<br />
of days after voluntary termination count as if they were days after<br />
revocation for the purpose of meeting the above 30 day minimum period.<br />
<br />
3. The following additional conditions must be met, in the sole judgement<br />
of the board, for NW to be welcome to become a member again. The<br />
primary consideration of the board will be its responsibility to protect<br />
our community from the harmful behaviors that led to the revocation.<br />
<br />
a. His words and actions as he responded to Motion of Intent to Revoke<br />
reflected our need for everyone at i3 Detroit to be respectful to one<br />
another and follow the rules, even in disagreement.<br />
<br />
b. He removed his property from the space in a timely and considerate<br />
manner, reflecting the fact that we rely on both rules and consensus to<br />
make efficient use of a limited space. While his property storage<br />
violations are not grounds for revocation in this instance, his past<br />
behavior has shown a pattern of disregard for rules about storing<br />
property. E.g., large wooden couch components stored unsafely in the wood<br />
shop, and the same accompanied by sheets of wooden paneling in large<br />
project storage for weeks without a parking permit.<br />
<br />
c. His presence on i3 Detroit’s social media as a non-member has reflected<br />
the need for everyone at i3 to be excellent to one another. For example,<br />
limiting negative communications to only those recipients who need to know<br />
about a specific problem and can help to resolve it, working to calm<br />
heated discussions rather than fanning the flames, responding to<br />
respectful questions without defensiveness, disengaging rather than<br />
continuing an online conflict that has become counter-productive.<br />
<br />
d. His presence as a guest has demonstrated a consistent focus on positive<br />
contributions to the community and educational mission of i3 Detroit, as<br />
well as a proactive respect for the rules, including the rule that all<br />
guests are required to sign in with a host member.<br />
<br />
4. If NW wishes to return to membership after his membership has<br />
been revoked, he may request in writing (to<br />
i3detroit-board@googlegroups.com) that the board review his status with<br />
regards to the conditions under which he is welcome to become a member<br />
again. This review may be requested no more than one time for each elected<br />
board, i.e., once per year.<br />

<br />

hostility to all members, the board must act when a member exhibits a<br />
pattern of actions that harm our community. MC has made many<br />
positive contributions to the space, but those cannot outweigh the hostile<br />
environment he has contributed to creating.<br />
<br />
1. The secretary is hereby directed to send a copy of this motion and the<br />

<br />
2. The board intends to vote on the Motion to Revoke MC's<br />

Motion to Revoke MC’s Membership<br />
<br />
Whereas i3 Detroit seeks to provide a welcoming environment free of<br />
hostility to all members, the board must act when a member exhibits a<br />
pattern of actions that harm our community. MC has made<br />
positive contributions to the space in the past, but those cannot outweigh<br />
the hostile environment he has contributed to creating.<br />
<br />
1. The membership of MC is hereby revoked, effective<br />
immediately, because the board has determined that he has engaged in<br />
conduct materially and seriously prejudicial to the interests and purposes<br />
of the corporation. This was a pattern of repeated conduct that continued<br />
after he was informed that it was inappropriate.<br />
<br />
a. Meeting one of the grounds for membership revocation in the Standing<br />
Rules: ”The member is a disruption about whom multiple members have<br />
complained.” Multiple members complained when he repeatedly took his<br />
dispute with Nate Warnick over the bike and welding shops onto the<br />
member’s mailing list. Multiple members complained about many of the steps<br />
he took in transforming the bike shop into what he intended would be a<br />
casting zone.<br />
<br />
b. Posting on the mailing list a hurtful personal insult directed at<br />
another member: an intolerable violation of our rule to be excellent to<br />
one another.<br />
<br />
c. Multiple rule violations having to do with bringing in, relocating,<br />
storing, and damaging property. E.g., storing bar countertops not in<br />
compliance with the wood shop storage guidelines, improperly relocating<br />
bike shop tools to the graveyard, relocating robot knife fight arena to<br />
non-compliant storage in wood shop, cutting off the front section of the<br />
bike shop workbench and storing it unsafely in the wood shop, drilling<br />
unsightly holes in the large projection screen, disconnecting and<br />
partially disassembling the Argon-Left-On warning system in the welding<br />
shop, storing a large steel lamp in the power-wheels corner without<br />
parking permit.<br />
<br />
2. The minimum period of revocation shall be 90 days. If MC<br />
voluntarily terminated his membership after the passing of the Motion of<br />
Intent to Revoke and before the vote on the Motion to Revoke, the number<br />
of days after voluntary termination count as if they were days after<br />
revocation for the purpose of meeting the above 90 day minimum period.<br />
<br />
3. The following additional conditions must be met, in the sole judgement<br />
of the board, for MC to be welcome to become a member again.<br />
The primary consideration of the board will be its responsibility to<br />
protect our community from the harmful behaviors that led to the<br />
revocation.<br />
<br />
a. His words and actions as he responded to Motion of Intent to Revoke<br />
reflected our need for everyone at i3 to be respectful to one another and<br />
follow the rules, even in disagreement.<br />
<br />
b. He removed his property from the space in a timely and considerate<br />
manner, reflecting the fact that we rely on both rules and consensus to<br />
make efficient use of a limited space.<br />
<br />
c. He has taken the initiative to repair or provide compensation for<br />
property he damaged, in each individual case working with a zone<br />
warden and/or a board member to reach consensus on the best<br />
resolution.<br />
<br />
d. His presence on i3 social media as a non-member has reflected the need<br />
for everyone at i3 to be excellent to one another. For example, limiting<br />
negative communications to only those recipients who need to know about a<br />
specific problem and can help to resolve it, working to calm heated<br />
discussions rather than fanning the flames, responding to respectful<br />
questions without defensiveness, using language appropriate for a diverse<br />
audience, disengaging rather than continuing an online conflict that has<br />
become counter-productive.<br />
<br />
e. His presence as a guest has demonstrated a consistent focus on positive<br />
contributions to the community and educational mission of i3 Detroit, as<br />
well as a proactive respect for the rules, including the rule that all<br />
guests are required to sign in with a host member.<br />
<br />

All members at i3 strive to "Be excellent to each other." This page gives examples of how to be excellent in different scenarios.<br />
<br />
== In General ==<br />
* It is excellent to strive to be more excellent.<br />
* It is excellent to tell someone how to be more excellent. It is not excellent to criticize someone for not being excellent.<br />
* It is excellent to communicate needs instead of criticisms. Example "I need some table space to work on my project, would you be able to clear any of this table for me to use?" instead of "Look at this mess! You are a horrible human being! This is not excellent at all!"<br />
<br />
== When someone else is not being excellent ==<br />
* When someone is not being excellent, it is excellent to talk to them in private. It is not excellent to single them out at a meeting or on the mailing list.<br />

== Proposal ==<br />
i3 Detroit Camera Policy: <br />
<br />
All cameras that operate unattended in the space may be used, subject <br />
to the following restrictions, to record the activities about the <br />
space for the limited purpose of protecting the membership by allowing <br />
the investigation of actual or suspected wrongdoing. <br />
<br />
Applicability: These rules apply to all video cameras placed about the <br />
space for any period of time. <br />
<br />
Locations: Video cameras may only be used in areas approved by a <br />
majority vote of the General Membership. Any such video camera must be <br />
placed in a conspicuous manner. <br />
<br />
Offline Recording & Access: Video cameras may only send video to the <br />
approved, limited-access Recording Station. Both the video cameras and <br />
the Recording Station must remain isolated from any network so that <br />
neither the live or recorded video may be accessed by anyone without <br />
physical access. This rule specifically forbids the unattended use of <br />
internet-connected cameras. <br />
<br />
Limited-Access Policy: To protect member privacy, recorded video may <br />
only be reviewed for the purpose of investigating actual or suspected <br />
wrongdoing or accidents. To prevent abuse of this rule, only a limited <br />
group of individuals may authorize access to recorded video. These <br />
individuals are either members of (1) Group A, two individuals chosen <br />
by the Board; or (2) Group B, two individuals chosen by the General <br />
Membership and not already chosen by the Board. Before any recorded <br />
video is reviewed, at least one member from both Group A and Group B <br />
must authorize the review and be present during the entire review <br />
process. <br />
<br />
Data Retention: The video may not be retained for longer than a period <br />
of one year, unless the applicable footage is, or is anticipated to <br />
be, under active investigation or other legal process. <br />
<br />
These policies may not be amended or altered without notifying the <br />
membership <br />
<br />
Physical Security: To prevent unauthorized access to the recorded <br />
video, physical access to the Recording Station is restricted to the <br />
members of Group A and Group B as further described below. The <br />
Recording Station must be physically secured with two locks that <br />
prevent access to the recorded video. The first lock’s keys may only <br />
be possessed by members of Group A and second lock’s keys may only be <br />
possessed by members of Group B. Both a member from Group A and Group <br />
B must be present from the time the Recording Station is accessed and <br />
stay until it is re-secured. <br />
<br />
Audit Requirements: Members have the right to know how the Recording <br />
Station and its recorded video are being accessed. Tamper-evident, <br />
numbered seals must be conspicuously placed on the Recording Station <br />
in such a way that the seal is broken whenever the Recording Station <br />
is accessed. Anyone accessing the Recording Station must (1) Replace <br />
the tamper-evident tag with a new one; (2) Notify the General <br />
Membership through the general electronic mailing list. The <br />
notification to the General Membership must contain the following <br />
information: The tamper-evident seal number, access date and time, <br />
individuals accessing the video (including members from Group A and <br />
Group B), date and time of the video being reviewed, and the purpose <br />
for reviewing the video.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Template:Policy}}<br />
=== <u>General</u> ===<br />
#It is the responsibility of the members to come to amicable agreements of disputes over tools, space or other shop resources. <br />
#No sleeping / living in the space. (Napping for a little is okay.) <br />
#The Board of Directors will respond to all requests for approval within 48 hours unless the Board asks the requester for more time to decide. <br />
=== <u>Safety</u> ===<br />
#Safety is the top responsibility of every member and guest. <br />
#All members and guests are required to use appropriate personal protective equipment. i3Detroit provides eye, ear, hand, head, and respiratory protection of many kinds for this reason. <br />
#It is the the responsibility of every member and guest to understand the safe use of any tool or equipment before using it. <br />
#This understanding must be obeyed and any members or guests in the work area who may be affected must be made aware (such as a verbal request to put on safety equipment or relocate to avoid breathing fumes). <br />
#Members must not allow unsafe practices by any guest or other member. <br />
=== <u>Guests</u> ===<br />
#Any member may host up to ten guests in the space. <br />
#Two or more members may host an unlimited number of guests. <br />
#In all cases, the member(s) hosting one or more guests are responsible for: <br />
##Verifying that each guest has a signed waiver on file before they're allowed entry <br />
##Signing the log with each guest <br />
##Making sure guests understand the guidelines under which we operate <br />
##Ultimately, cleaning up after guests if they fail to do it themselves <br />
#If any of the following are true, the person is not allowed in the space and must leave: <br />
#The person is not of the age of majority and a parent or guardian of the guest has not filled out the Young Guest Waiver on his or her behalf <br />
#The person is banned (see 9.1) <br />
#A member or guest who behaves inappropriately (including but not limited to violation of these rules or the bylaws) may be asked to leave by another member. In case of a dispute in the matter, any board member may mediate. <br />
=== <u>Property</u> ===<br />
==== Bringing Property to i3Detroit ====<br />
# A list of property types are listed below. If property coming to i3Detroit meets one or more of these criteria, the associated process(es) must be followed. Otherwise the Board of Directors reserves the right to treat said property at i3Detroit as abandoned (see 4.4.1). <br />
#In all cases requiring approval, do not bring property to i3Detroit until it has been approved.<br />
#The Board of Directors and the warden(s) of the zone receiving the property must both agree to the new property for it to be considered approved.<br />
<br />
==== Oversize property ====<br />
#Definition: The property is a standing object that occupies a floor footprint (like a server rack, table saw, furniture, or telescope) and it cannot be stored on a shelf. <br />
#Process: Give the Board a filled-out [http://i3detroit.com/wi/images/a/a0/I3ParkingPermit.pdf Parking Permit] and wait for approval. <br />
#Oversize projects coming to i3Detroit that will be removed in four days or less do not require approval from the Board of Directors.&nbsp; The owner of the project must send a notification email to the discussion mailing list.<br />
<br />
==== Donated property ====<br />
#Definition: The property is brought to i3Detroit by a member or guest who wants i3Detroit to become the new owner of the property. <br />
#Process: Give the Board a filled-out Donation Release and wait for approval. <br />
==== Shared property ====<br />
#Definition: The property is brought to i3Detroit by a member (not a guest) who wants to share usage but not ownership of the property. The member retains ownership of the property. <br />
#Process: Give the Board a filled-out [http://i3detroit.com/wi/images/4/41/EquipmentEntryForm.pdf Equipment Entry Form / Ownership Affidavit] and wait for approval.<br />
<br />
==== Private property ====<br />
#Definition: Property owned by a member that is not donated or shared. <br />
#Process: Members may freely bring private property to i3Detroit as long as it is stored safely in their plot. (see 5.1 and 5.2.) <br />
==== Integrating New Property into i3Detroit ====<br />
#Shared, donated, and oversize property (referred here as “new property”) require special storage arrangements. The Board of Directors, after approving the new property, is responsible for making these arrangements. <br />
#New property must be stored safely in an appropriate zone and with the approval of that zone’s warden. <br />
#New property must be labeled to identify it and where it should be stored. Shelves must be labeled with the property stored there. <br />
#Oversize, private property must have an attached Parking Permit. <br />
#Removing Property From i3Detroit. Many members at i3Detroit depend on the availability of property and tools they do not own. All members are responsible for following these guidelines. <br />
#Members can freely remove property from the graveyard. <br />
#Members taking their personally-owned shared property out of i3Detroit must (amended: should) notify the member mailing list that the property is being removed. This is both a courtesy to others and a safeguard against apparent theft. <br />
==== Handling Abandoned Property at i3Detroit ====<br />
#Because i3Detroit must actively defend itself from clutter and unwanted property, abandoned property is treated as though the owner places no value on the property and will not return to claim their property. In the interest of the members of i3Detroit and their need for a clean, safe workshop, the Board of Directors will thus use or dispose of the abandoned property however it sees fit. <br />
#Property is considered abandoned if it meets at least one of the following criteria: <br />
##The property was never approved by the Board of Directors when this approval was required (see 4.1) <br />
##The property is neither shared nor donated, violates the safe storage rules, has no attached [http://i3detroit.com/wi/images/a/a0/I3ParkingPermit.pdf Parking Permit], and has an attached [http://i3detroit.com/wi/images/d/d1/I3ParkingTicket.pdf Parking Ticket] with an expired grace period <br />
##The property is in member storage and is either stored unsafely or exceeds the owning member’s plot <br />
##The property is owned by a former member and has not been collected within thirty days of that person’s departure from i3Detroit <br />
##Any member of i3Detroit can attach a Parking Ticket to property he or she suspects is abandoned (see 4.5).<br />
<br />
==== Parking Tickets ====<br />
#The member affixing the [http://i3detroit.com/wi/images/d/d1/I3ParkingTicket.pdf Parking Ticket] (the “finder”) to property he or she suspects is abandoned must undertake a goodwill effort to contact the owner of the property by sending an email meeting these criteria: <br />
##In the subject line, put the words “ABANDONED PROPERTY PARKING TICKET” <br />
##In the message, describe the property and where it was found <br />
##In the message, mention this notice and when it was attached <br />
##Send the message to i3detroit-announce@googlegroups.com <br />
##Immediately after the message passes moderation and is sent to the announcement list, a seven day grace period begins. If the owner has not stored the property correctly by 12:00 AM of the morning after the grace period expires, the property will be considered abandoned and disposed of accordingly (see 4.4.1).<br />
<br />
=== <u>Storage</u> ===<br />
==== Safe Storage ====<br />
#All property at i3Detroit must be stored in a way that is safe and shows respect for members and guests in the space. Property that meets any of the following criteria will not be considered safely stored. <br />
##Property left on a work surface after the member or guest using it cannot be found and is presumed to have left <br />
##Property left on the floor, especially when it creates a trip hazard and/or obstructs a door or walkway <br />
##Property on a member storage shelf that protrudes more than 2” <br />
##Property on any shelf that protrudes more than 5” <br />
##Property left leaning against a wall, beam, or storage area <br />
##Property piled in front of a storage area <br />
==== Member Storage ====<br />
#Each member is entitled to one “plot” in member storage, which is a defined, limited space for keeping his or her private property. <br />
#Each member must keep their private property in only one plot and not exceed the physical dimensions of that plot. The only exception is for approved oversize property. <br />
#Member property that is not stored safely or does not fit in the member’s plot is both dangerous and disrespectful and is considered abandoned (see 4.4.1). <br />
==== Parking Permits ==== <br />
#Once the Board of Directors approves a piece of oversize property for storage at i3Detroit, the member owning the property attach the filled out [http://i3detroit.com/wi/images/a/a0/I3ParkingPermit.pdf Parking Permit] to it. <br />
#The Parking Permit must indicate: Who owns the property; where at i3Detroit it is to be stored; the owner’s contact email address and/or phone number; the date when the Parking Permit expires; and the date the Board of Directors approved the Parking Permit. <br />
#The oversize property must be stored in its designated spot at i3Detroit with the Parking Permit visibly affixed. When the Parking Permit expires, the member must either apply for a new one or immediately remove the property from i3Detroit.<br />
<br />
=== <u>Floor Plan, Wardens, and Zones </u> ===<br />
#“Zones” are defined, limited areas of i3Detroit’s space that are set aside for a particular purpose (such as chemistry, electronics, or crafting). <br />
#“Wardens” are volunteer members who oversee a specific zone and enforce its organization, safe usage, and cleanliness. <br />
##While wardens are responsible for organizing a zone to encourage cleanliness, organization and safety, individuals are ultimately responsible for their own safety (see 2.1 - 2.5). <br />
##Wardens have final say in governing their zone and are responsible for making their rules known to members and guests. <br />
##Zones may have multiple wardens as long as those wardens act in agreement as one. <br />
##Members may be warden to multiple zones. <br />
##The Board of Directors will by default act as warden to any zones without volunteer wardens. <br />

<hr />
<div>These are the current official documents governing i3 Detroit. Most members only need to be familiar with the standing rules.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
This is the official, legal structure of the i3 Detroit corporation. This information will only be regularly needed by directors and officers. The [[Articles of Incorporation]] establish i3 Detroit as a membership-based corporation, meaning it has two deliberative assemblies ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliberative_assembly definition]): the voting members, and the board of directors.<br />
<br />
Each assembly has rights and responsibilities given to it by the articles and the [[Bylaws]]. Those rights and responsibilities are exercised by voting on written [[:Category:Proposals|Proposals]], which become [[:Category:Resolutions|Resolutions]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(law) definition]) when passed. Resolutions of a deliberative body can be used to authorize any power granted to that body by the bylaws, or to create additional procedures and rules that they agree to follow. In the chart below, legal rights/responsibilities are delegated in the direction of the arrows.<br />
