 ## Discussion
-Hackspace could do with some **dusting.** Maybe needs a bit more colour, looks sad.
-Check in when JC is back around if we need **another board member.**
-**Expenses are generally stable,** went up a lot over the start of year but back down now, especially with electricity costs. Purchase proposals are the biggest variability at the moment but nothing big is planned.
-**Electric certs** are proving to be more work. We have a list of items we need done to get certified. Ben talked to Adam in person and is trying to get in contact to arrange a final certificate check.

 **Doorbot has been rewired** following incident. We probably want 
-**Eye wash station** needs someone else to plumb it in.
-**Resin in the sink** is probably not going to happen and we will need to decomm it completely if nothing is happening with it.
-**New storage slots** have become available, I’ve put some notices on ones that are being used but not claimed. We need a discussion on storage in general.
-It seems the **CNC ammiel** is making will be loaned to the space but it needs a 16A run to the CNC room, we’ve agreed it should happen as the area coordinator is also in favour of the CNC machine.
-**Social media** is a bit ded, there’s no process and people are just posting randomly.
-Kids easter event is probably ded now.
-We probably want to do another **blue cross event** and advertise it well.
-**EMF was a great success,** we want to use the marquee again. Logistics was a nightmare and we probably want a van for next time. Starting to look at workshops and extras for next times village.
-Maybe look at what mosi **events are coming up** or mini maker faires.
-**Zigbee network** is up and maybe used for continuous air and sound monitoring.
-**Prusa XL** has been sent back and will be looked at for repair. Quotes to follow.
-The **enders** should be gotten rid of as we don’t have enough space at the moment for more 3d printers and they are inferior.
-We will want to stick to our **unattended rule** with 3d printing until insurers are changed, or our current ones agree to self insurance.
-**Parkspace** still needs more work.
-**Network cable** is now attached to the wall.
-Sorted massive box of stuff in the **corner of doom.** Some bits are being kept, we still have a lot of woodworking and other things that need clearing out.
-There is building work underway to **fix the leak** in electronics JC is all over it. 
-We probably want to share **costco and bookers access** to all board members.
-**Website** is being cleaned up. It’s almost halfway to being fully upgraded.
-Talk about the next **CCTV next steps** at members meeting, we probably want to propose what it will look like and have a vote.
-We want to consolidate **hackspace rules** and incorporate critical infrastructure.
-We got a lot of positive feedback on **HTSD** and how it was run this time around. We are planning another one for September.
-VA was tied up during **HTSD** and improved nicely.
-Not sure what the plan was after **large storage clear out.** It seems Peter is happy to carry on with some kind of plan 🤷We probably need some plan.
-**Physical space workshop** went well and we’ve got a lot of ideas, we just need people to start to implement them.
-We should make certain **branding assets** available.
-We'll need to work out what to do with **car parking** going forward.

 Agreed we can try putting infra tasks in the space on a **physical board.**
-**Emergency lights** need regular testing.
-We’ve brought forward **volunteering shortfalls** and **membership payment types** for when JC is back.
-We need to talk about a **member's behaviour** which has been reported before and has repeated again.

 Trello Review | • Tidy Up Tasks<br>• Reallocation of tasks
 Focus Session | • General budget trend<br>• Updates to purchase proposal system?<br>• Large PPs - do they need a members meeting?<br>• what is the purpose of the board check?<br>• is the PP meant to be for the cost of an item or the value of it? E.g. should free donations still have a PP based on their value?<br>• how much notice for MM?<br>• how much notice for voting matters?<br>• what is numbered required for quorum?<br>• how should voting be conducted?<br>• how much margin of error are we happy for PPs to have? (As in how much misc budget is permitted?)<br>• are PPs allowed to be vague to get money approved in advance - e.g. we would like to approve £2k to buy a nice lathe when one comes up for auction<br>• how do proxies work?<br>• default voting options (where non are stated)<br>• PPE purchasing?

-1. Members have wanted to make better use of the Lab space, but blocked by the privately owned items stored within. Member discussion and asks on the forum haven’t been acted upon. Attendees of the meeting ask for this to be escalated to the Board to formally request the owner of items to remove them from the Hackspace.
-2. Requirements/rules around calling and managing members meetings (quorum requirements, how proxies are managed/solicited, notice periods, locking of agenda; formalising previously established conventions?)
-3. Large purchase proposals: What’s the right way for the membership to be given an opportunity to discuss?
-4. Not an action from the meeting but on my mind, we need to do a lot better job of clarifying the large purchase proposal process ourselves, and then communicating that clearly to membership (not conflicting statements spread over multiple places)
