Committees

Bylaws and Standing Rules

Jonathan White

  • There’s a channel #rules-and-bylaws-review where people are welcome to contribute. They’ll need a Makersmiths email to access the documents and they can be setup with one pretty quickly. Just join the channel and let Jonathan White know. It won’t be an immediate response though. Figuring out how best to have a committee review that’s manageable and balanced with getting input from the members.
