Basically more transparency and it is good for members to know who other members are. As far as Rubin saying it is a doocratic thing, this is a pretty big impact and could be hurtful/helpful to many members. This is why we are discussing it. We would like to make it a policy going forward to to share this list with a piece of contact info and a name they choose to go by. It allows one member to contact another member. One could doocratically do this. They could ask the Secretary, Tom, for this information and publish it themselves. Possibly in an excellent way and possibly not. If it goes through consensus, it is more formal and written down as opposed to verbal tradition that can be done over and over again in the same way. With doocracy there is no real guarantee that it will be done the same in the future or whatever. <div>

Many people are against having their addresses and contact information broadly published and indexed by Google, and they are in > % than avg at NB. So a requirement that their address and contact information be published would be a disincentive to full participation, and may keep good people from being part of Noisebridge.</div>

The state law model represents the wisdom of the usage of thousands of nonprofit corporation, and it aims for a middle ground. I 'd prefer that membership lists not be Google searchable, but that when a consensus member want a list of members for a reason consistent with being a consensus member, that they are provided that list.</div>
