<p dir="ltr">I would argue that a very fundamental part of Noisebridge charter is to in fact listen to and attempt to incorporate rather than override a dissenting opinion.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Also, I would like to note the difference between formally and formerly and humbly submit a pull request to the whole announcement due to whiplash and confusion. What the fuck kind of members are we talking about, formal ones? If I wear a tuxedo on the sixth Tuesday of a given month do I get a say in how Noisebridge works? Ah yes, do-ocratic voting. I hereby decree a new class of Noisebridge members, the formal kind. Please discuss.</p>

Al, the issues in question were proposed 7 hours ago, during which<br>
time I was at work. Then I went to yoga. Then I found when I decided<br>
to check my email that about 10 different issues were all lumped<br>
together in a single "proposal" and that 2 people had voted "+1" on<br>
it.<br>
<br>
2 + the person who proposed the changes = 3. 3 out of 5 is a positive vote.<br>
<br>
These changes were then implemented *immediately*.<br>
<br>
IMHO, the board did not "agree", because "agreement" cannot occur in a<br>
situation where discussion did not take place.<br>
<br>
I have already put in a proposal within the board that proposals can't<br>
be voted upon and carried out until one full week has passed. I can't<br>
believe I had to do that, but apparently some people think that<br>
"agreement" can be reached without discussion.<br>
