Board Meeting Minutes 201605033 May 2016Proposal to ban 20160503A

WHEREAS, although 20160503A has contributed time and resources to i3 for many years, no contributions shall supersede the overall well-being of the i3 community,

AND WHEREAS multiple warnings have been issued to 20160503A regarding the below behaviors,

AND WHEREAS 20160503A’s membership is currently suspended,

AND WHEREAS 20160503A has made no effort to reinstate their good standing in the organization,

AND WHEREAS there have been a number of reported incidents of violations of the i3 Harassment Policy, including inappropriate comments, behavior, and physical contact, that form a pattern of behavior that puts the future well-being of members and guests of the space at risk,

AND WHEREAS during 20160503A’s suspension, 20160503A has abused his guest privileges by fraudulently entering the space multiple times by signing in under members without their permission,

AND WHEREAS, 20160503A has a history of accessing i3’s electronic systems to disrupt the organization,

AND WHEREAS, 20160503A has a pattern of behavior of obstructing the running of i3 putting i3 in legal jeopardy, and harming the reputation of i3 by acting as a representative of i3,

AND WHEREAS, the consequences of 20160503A’s behavior are a drain on the time and resources of the i3 leadership that have the potential to drive valuable leaders away from the organization,

AND WHEREAS, communication with 20160503A has continued to demonstrate that 20160503A is not willing to take responsibility for their actions or change their behavior,


WE RESOLVE that, effective May 10, 2016, 20160503A shall be banned from all spaces operated by i3 Detroit indefinitely until the board of directors votes to overturn this ban.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that, effective May 10, 2016, 20160503A shall be banned from all i3 electronic communication channels.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that we appreciate the service to i3 shown by 20160503A in the past, and, though we cannot allow him to be a part of the i3 community at this time, we believe he is capable of adjusting his behavior to be accepted back into the community.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that the Board of Directors will consider with an open mind any such behavioral adjustments and, to this end, an exception to the ban will be made for the board meeting on July 12, 2016 in order to provide a venue for 20160503A to argue for this ban to be lifted. However, there is no guarantee that the board will lift the ban at that time. 20160503A is encouraged to communicate with the board via email to establish guidelines for behavior that would increase the likelihood of the ban being lifted, and is encouraged to communicate with the board via email to schedule a time to meet if the above date is not convenient.

Board Meeting Minutes 2016061414 June 2016Craft Room Co-Coordinator Proposal
  • Kevin and Jan both now representative of the Craft Room. Any duties to be given now or in the future can be decided/carried out by either of us.
    • Jan is Sewing Czarina. Kevin is the art and everything-else Czar.
  • Duties which apply to the whole room, or reporting, or otherwise aren't specific to one area are normatively to be shared.
    • Should we not be able to coordinate a decision or activity--say, due to sudden illness--either party can act as Coordinator.
    • In the case of a disagreement we can't compromise on, we'll find an arbitrator. In the very unlikely case of irreconcilable differences, the board has override privileges, as always.
  • We'll be sticking to the existing budget for now; if we need more money, we'll lay that before the board in a separate proposal.
  • For long-term organizational purposes, we're going to agree more or less who gets which regions of the room. Our purpose is not to remove existing functions, but sewing needs a little more consideration than it's been getting.
    • We will jointly agree on large pieces of equipment or large furniture entering or exiting.
    • Non-dedicated equipment (like the Sillhouette, which can be stored anywhere and used anywhere) doesn't need joint approval for entry or rearrangement.
    • Large-scale reorganization will be jointly coordinated. In particular, Kevin won't be moving the sewing stuff around on my own anymore.
    • The existing budget isn't split into activities, but roughly 7/10 of it was sewing.
      • All single-item purchases over $100 will be discussed and agreed to before the purchase.
      • For anything else, including consumables and equipment, we have joint discretionary power, with the understanding that Jan will need the bulk of the money.
    • We currently plan on optimizing somewhat more tabletop to sewing and moving the other functions into the drawers or walls.
      • There will always be some tabletop space reserved for the current dedicated functions of glue guns/assembly and papercutting/painting. Those functions should not go away.
      • However, many Craft Room users use the room like a tool crib. Since the sewing devices need dedicated fixture space, it makes sense to reduce the amount of current non-dedicated tabletop space--it currently gets used for coat racks and sprawl space. Instead, more of the sewing devices should be readily and efficiently usable.
    • We may also find ways to optimize table space to fill all functions.
