Conflict Resolution:

Money:
* We have less than $4K :( But we're back up to $420 on GratiPay! Please
donate: http://gratipay.com/sudoroom
* Omni's electric bill this month was over $900 :(

Omni:
* Please join working groups!! We especially need more help with Finance,
Building Maintenance, and Fundraising. See
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Working_Groups for info on working group
mission, tasks and meeting times.
* [CONSENSUS] We dig the Omni Music Project, a sound and recording
collective seeking tenancy in the basement. OMP proposal to follow.
* [CONSENSUS] Omni should buy and install light timers (ahyep) - We get
roof access on the 1st - let's solar power this shit!
* [BLOCK] Empowering working groups and balancing work at the Omni proposal
- for reasons of it being a sly way of eliminating consensus
* [FRIENDLY AMENDMENT] Kids Room and Kids Working Group proposal: Sudo
requests a single point of contact / bottom-liner, and to hold off on
'stocking books' immediately in that space. Also, the Kids Working Group
should decide what to put in that room.
* [CONSENSUS] Tenancy definition & cap proposal
* [ABSTAIN] Splitting Allocation proposal: Confusion over the language,
would request rewording. However, general consent on it because it can
be overridden
by future omni consensus.
* [BLOCK] Member Collective Stewardship Agreement: We'd need to create an
HR department to track people's hours. Also, meh on rent reductions
generally and equating volunteer work to moneys we desperately need.
* [RISE ABOVE] Sudo Room is still waiting to consent on a refined proposal
articulating the location, lease agreements, first/last/deposit, and
necessary building modifications.
