Agenda
- Approve the bylaws
- We'll quickly review drafted Bylaws, discuss any issues raised, and tweak as needed. The interim board of directors (Kelly, Adam, Mark, Steve, Patrick, and Jon) will then vote to approve the bylaws, at which point they become the official bylaws of the Baltimore Node Corporation.
- Induct members
- Everyone who wants to be a member will have to sign the Membership Agreement. Jon will print enough copies for everyone just before the meeting, so make any comments or changes on the wiki before 5pm on Friday. Everyone who becomes a member at the meeting will be considered a "founding member", which will give you a warm sense of satisfaction and zero material benefits.
- Elect officers
- The bylaws outline officer duties and election procedure. The role of officers is purely administrative and all decision making power with regards to the Node's daily operations, policies, and future direction remains with the membership. Everyone should look at the officer descriptions and consider stepping up for a position. Anyone who just became a member may run for office and vote.
- Review Load of Fun lease
- Kelly will discuss the Load of Fun lease. Two members of the Node will need to sign the lease behalf of the Corporation. The President and Treasurer would make sense.
- Sign failsafe agreement
- Several members have agreed to sign an agreement to share a limited amount of financial liability in the event that we have to break lease and have to pay a penalty. Anyone can sign on to the agreement, but it's not required or expected.
- Adopt a logo
- If we can quickly build consensus around a logo, we'll go with it. Otherwise, we'll push the discussion back the mailing list and wiki.
- Close of official business
