The only difference from this and actually hiring this contract out, is that you're hiring a noisebridge interested of a non-interested noisebridge person. Everything else is mitigated by a contract as you would have with any other outside cleaning agency.<div>

We've already discussed exchanging maid service for membership dues<br>
several months back. There are legal issues that prevent this. We<br>
would have to pay someone, then they give us that money as dues.<br>

Hi, actually what was brought up was "exchanging services for membership dues." There were actually more reasons why the group has not been in favor of this both times it's been brought up at meetings...<br>
<br>
1. We don't want to have to rate how much work is worthy of paying for one's membership dues.<br>
2. We don't want a situation where the group grants member Bob permission to work X number of hours to pay for their dues and then have member Joe perk up and say they've been doing twice as much work for the space for the past few months and would like to be granted such privilege and "back pay" for all that.<br>
3. No one wants do deal with a situation where a member working in the space paying off their dues isn't doing a good job.<br>
4. And as Christie has pointed out, yes a whole bunch of legal issues.<br>
<br>
I do attest that all I did was skim through most of your email. If you feel like you're request to exchange man hours for paying off your dues is slightly different then what I described, I recommend bringing this up for discussion at our next meeting. Thanks.<br>
