As a board member of a registered corporation, my risk is acceptable; I
would not have accepted board membership otherwise. As an individual
lease signer it is not. I should have thought this through better last
night but I didn't. I got caught up in the excitement just like
everyone else.
Regarding the lease, what is signed actually says Noisebridge, with our
positions. It's exactly what we would have signed if we had been
incorporated at the time. I have no idea what the legality of this is
if we somehow don't change it and Noisebridge comes into being after the
lease date. Mitch, would you ask Carol that? We should re-sign and
re-date, of course, just to be sure.
Regarding insurance, we're moving forward on that at an excellent rate.
I'm quite satisfied there. We get the corporation paperwork, I'm happy.

Will the unhappy, pissed off people Jake refers to mention it
themselves? Or, if you're not actually quite so unhappy and pissed off
after all, and you feel you can give me (and Noah) a few days grace on
the key thing, that's great and I appreciate it. I had hoped that by
asking nicely, people might feel they could live with the inconvenience
for a few days. I still hope that.
What do you all think?
