Consent Agenda

Newly proposed agenda items appear in the consent agenda. Any member present at the meeting may pull an item out of the consent agenda for discussion, at which point it goes under "New Business". If nobody objects to the solutions presented by the consent agenda, everything in the consent agenda passes by consensus. Items that have more than one proposed solution should be moved to the "New Business" section.

Any member may edit this wiki page and place an item on the agenda. However, discussion of agenda items should be done via Slack. The cut-off time for addition to or revision of the consent agenda items is 48 hours prior to the meeting. Please note, agenda items (Consent, New, or Old) that request spending $250 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".

Relevance to our tax exempt status:  none

Motion: I nominate Jim Waldron to Chair Membership Committee and charge him to form committee of no less than three Full Members with purpose of carrying out above committee charter.  Further, I would ask that the immediate membership target goals be based on membership numbers set out in approved 2019 Makersmiths Budget.
