 from sudo room articles:

SECTION 2.3 BENEFITS

The following are benefits available to all members: 

	* Usable assets and resources [10] available within reasonable
constraints of time and under the condition of sharing. 

 	* SUDO ROOM strives to make assets and resources available to as many
non-member participants and beneficiaries as possible.
 	* Note: no personal property should be stored in SUDO ROOM unless a
system for personal storage can be provided by SUDO ROOM.
 	* Note: the use of SUDO ROOM environments for habitation and/or
domestic use is strongly discouraged.

	* Approved discounts and services negotiated through the collective
purchasing power of SUDO ROOM. 

 	* Items are up to the discretion of SUDO ROOM to determine through its
budgeting and decision-making processes.

	* A _safe space,_ which is defined as: 

 	* "A place where anyone can relax and be fully self-expressed, without
fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on
account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression, cultural background, age, or physical or mental
ability; a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect and
dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others." -- Advocates
for Youth via Wikipedia [11].
 	* A place free of physical violence or threats thereof.
