Proposed New Bylaws (Brad H)

Problem:  The current bylaws are outdated and need to be updated

Solution:  We make the draft bylaws that we have worked on available for public 30 day comment.  All we have to do it move the into the public space and request feedback. They are currently here http://wiki.makersmiths.org/display/BOARD/Draft+Proposed+New+Bylaws, but would be moved

Relevance to our tax exempt status:  No Impact

Motion:  I motion that we move the proposed bylaws into the public space and initiate a 30 day window for written feedback.  The feedback will close at the Nov members meeting.  After the Nov members meeting the board will meet, finalize and present the final bylaws at the Dec member meeting with a Jan 1 st effective date.

Complimentary Memberships (Brad H)

Problem: Complimentary memberships continue to drain resources and upset paying members.  We are also getting requests to convert full members into complimentary memberships

Solution:  Adoption of the complimentary membership policy outlined here http://wiki.makersmiths.org/display/BOARD/Complimentary+Member+Policy

Relevance to our tax exempt status: No impact

Instructor Pay, Reimbursements and Member Storage (Brad H)
