🌻U Zico Notes Bylaw-Discussion 10-3-25

Thoughts of people at LZ on the bylaw ideas Alexi had

been operating by concencus, but not transparently ( no notes on meetings or things written down)
decisions being ad-hoc, on individual basis and not based on policy
no mechanism for agreeing that something should happen
people don't know all the social power relations or think they might not
quorum of 50% of active members
being an active member means you count for quorum, but all members can vote and have power
concensus - proposal, and ask for objections - do people feel comfortable
- progressive stack in meetings - could help with discussion?
- make sure people have time to process and object to thing if they want to - 30 seconds
meetings on friday evenings

notes don't take into account disciplinary action
members should be present at anything happening at LZ, at least one member present
can't hold events that exclude other members
- check calendar to see if event conflicts with other events
keys don't have to expire on a schedule
don't have to codify every decision in bylaws
Maybe change locks when bylaws get passed so we have an official list of who has keys - secretary keeps list

can't prevent burnout/people disappearing, but can try having terms so they know it's not forever
- normalize snap elections for positions
- immediate config day called, order of business is replacing board member
Alexi doesn't think we are big enough to have multiple people for a board position
committees for finance to back up treasurer and maybe secretary, can step in if treasurer has to step down
proposal for facilities team as well, with facilities steward
