[sudo-discuss] [consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

[Marc Juul]

To those of you wondering how much liability you'd be taking on, here's a
short summary:


http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/nonprofit-directors-personal-liability-32357.html

This assumes that sudo room has liability insurance, which should be top
priority as soon we are incorporated (getting liability was a primary
motivator for becoming incorporated in the first place.

Who wants to take on the task of researching hacker space liability
insurance? I suggested contacting a few other California hackerspaces and
asking about their insurance policy and pricing and bringing that info to
the upcoming weekly meeting.
