Committee Updates
Forum Moderators as Committee
For the following reasons:
- The forum serves as a location for posting official announcements and other member-facing MakeICT content.
- The forum moderators have authority and power beyond what regular members have.
- The forum moderators represent MakeICT to an internal and external audience every day.
- The forum moderators should be officially designated a standing committee, separate from IT, with the same privileges and requirements that all committees have, according to the Committees policy.

Propane Storage for Jewelry Lab
- The 20lb propane tanks used in Jewelry are not rated for indoor use. Ideally we need to designate outdoor storage for the tanks and build up the storage area. Other options to propane have been looked at (oxy/acetylene, natural gas) and they are not as ideal.
- An outdoor cage is possible, and estimated to cost $200-800. It would require pouring a slab and locking the cage, with the lead(s) having exclusive access. Tabled so that Mike can do more research and assess viable options.
- The tanks will be removed from the premises in the interim.
