    • Except strike the line that says “D. Security Officers cannot sign Member Key Applications.”
      • Propose keeping key form to 1 page (front only)
      • Security Officer is currently not allowed to process form if they signed
      • Request allowing any officer to sign regardless if they already signed the form
      • update key policy on wiki
      • questionnaire does not necessarily provide benefit to members?
      • Kip suggests having questionnaire as separate page (possibly with policies on reverse side) and reword iiD to allow security person to also be one of the 6 signatures
    • tabled until May

Security

  • Electric Bus was broken into
    • Batteries were taken from Bus but were found nearby
    • Batteries for Bus are now secured outside of the bus
  • Errors & Omissions policy - David Springs to go get a quote from our insurance on adding this

Programs

  • Should the non-makerspace programs be spun off into separate non-profit organizations? Discussion of what needs to change and added to financial oversight for them to stay on, or we can help them apply for their own status.
  • DevICT looking to become seperate non-profit organization
    • DevICT would have to be under the MakeICT Institute financial umbrella to maintain non-profit status
    • Not much apparent overlap between MakeICT and DevICT
    • DevICT does have their own treasurer
    • DevICT might be able to incorporate as a LLC (Limited Liability Company)
      • Currently considering both options (LLC vs Non-Profit)
    • Still willing to cooperate on events and activities together
      • already seperate checking account for Kansas Linux Festival (KLF)
        • KLF would go under DevICT umbrella if it becomes a 501c3

      • gives area leads and director ability to modify access policies
      • need to consult insurance how this would impact liability of leads
    • any board member can vote to repeal policy
    • motion to approve updated access pollcy by LaDeana, 2nd by Malissa

  • The 1-year term duration was highlighted as an opportunity improvement. Malissa, LaDeana, Rustin and James L to write up proposal.
    • suggestion for 2yr term
    • James - likes idea for continuity on board, but would be a conflict of interest
      • the point of 1yr terms: gives membership more of a chance to provide feedback
