Committee Reports

Need to make sure committee leads are listed on http://makeict.org/leadership/

What's the difference between a program and a committee?

• Area leads: responsible for specific square footage of the makerspace
• Board can appoint committee members, cannot appoint assistant area leads
• Board hears report outs from committees and programs, not areas
• Program must be an established committee FIRST, then a program

New Business

Proposal of new standing rule

Current bylaws: No material property of the corporation may be given to, loaned or placed in the possession of a third party without the expressed permission of the Board of Directors.

Is a re-word necessary? Material property of the corporation may be disposed of or placed in the possession of a third party according to the specifications set forth by the standing rules

Standing rule proposal:

Property Removal

Items donated or purchased by the corporation may not be disposed of or placed in possession of a third party without the signatures of three different people:

1. The applicable area lead
2. The makerspace program director
3. A member of the MakeICT board of directors

Another member of the MakeICT board of directors can sign in place of the makerspace program director.

No signatures are required to dispose of or transfer items that were accepted as hackables.

Other New Business

• Tools on loan - propose that we ask the loaners to take these items back
  • Ping pong table (lounge, takes up too much space)
  • Star Rider (lounge, takes up too much space)
• Lake Afton Public Observatory
  • They can use our badge printer, paying back for individual supplies ($1 per badge?) but nothing extra covering the cost of the machine
  • Exchange: Quarterly member nights for MakeICT members
  • James L was originally tasks with writing up this proposal, these bullets are Kim's stab at it, James feel free to re-write.
• Spirit partnership
