===Statement of Purpose===
LVL1 Inc, Not for Profit Company is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes within the
meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or the corresponding section of any future United
States Internal Revenue law). Its mission includes, but is not limited to:
* Providing workspace, equipment and other resources for communal use by all members.
* Creating a safe and open environment for experimentation in technology and art.
* Encouraging continued learning through workshops, classes, seminars and mentoring.

==Location==
LVL1 shall continuously maintain in the Commonwealth of Kentucky a registered office and a registered agent
whose business office, for the purposes of this corporation, is identical with such registered office. The registered
office shall be the physical location of our workspace. In the event that we do not have a physical workspace, the
registered office shall be determined by the board of directors.

==Membership==
This Corporation shall have one class of members: Full Members. Founding Members are completely equivalent to Full Members. Founding Member is a temporary designation to recognize dues paying members, prior to LVL1 securing a physical location. No member shall hold more than one membership.

A member must also provide government-issued photo identification to
at least two members of the board of directors at the time of payment
of the first membership fee, and provide an electronic mail address
for receiving official notice of members' meetings. Any person who
does meet these requirements is a Member of LVL1.

The first 3 months of membership shall be considered provisional.
During this 3 month period, only unique keys to access the space will
be provided. If a new member fails to fulfill the responsibilities of
membership during this period, Full Members may object to the
membership. Objections to membership shall be directed to the member in question and the Board of
Directors for attempted mediation. If during this 3 month period there
are more unresolved objections to the membership than sponsors for the
membership, the membership shall be terminated.

Members may rescind their approval at the time of verification; or any time prior to final verification.
# One week after submission, a FAP that has not received a full 50% approval from members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, will end. At that time, the FAP passes if two conditions are met:
##More than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have responded to the FAP with either approval or disapproval.

==Harassment Policy==

LVL1 is a place for persons of all backgrounds to make amazing things. Therefore, LVL1 is dedicated to being a harassment-free hackerspace for everyone. LVL1 establishes the following policy to ensure a harassment-free atmosphere.

===Harassment Definition===

The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassment, verbal or physical, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, physical appearance, parental status, political beliefs or any other distinction that creates discomfort for an individual. The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassing behaviors including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual attention, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording or inappropriate physical contact.

===Community Guidelines===

LVL1 presents the following guidelines to prevent harassment.

# Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
# When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
# You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
# When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
# When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
# Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.

===Violation of this Policy===

All persons asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. LVL1 encourages persons involved to discuss transgressions of this policy in a mature manner prior to reporting an offense to the Board of Directors. If the harassment continues or the transgression is severe, LVL1 encourages the community to report the behavior to any member of the Board of Directors. The Directors are committed to take all claims of harassment seriously and to treat all concerns with the strictest confidentiality.

When a violation of this policy is reported to a member of the board of directors, the board will open an investigation. The board will seek all necessary information from all persons involved, evaluate the information, and develop a plan of recourse within the Board’s powers.
The Board of Directors is empowered to take the following actions against persons in violation of this policy:

# A warning
# A temporary ban from the premises for a to-be-determined duration of time approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
# A permanent ban from the premises approved by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.

The Board may skip to more serious consequences at its discretion. A warning will only be given once.

This document details the operation of LVL1 Inc.
==Overview==
===Name===
This corporation shall be known as LVL1 (hereinafter also referred to as the "Corporation").

===Statement of Purpose===
LVL1 Inc, Not for Profit Company is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes within the
meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or the corresponding section of any future United
States Internal Revenue law). Its mission includes, but is not limited to:
* Providing workspace, equipment and other resources for communal use by all members.
* Creating a safe and open environment for experimentation in technology and art.
* Encouraging continued learning through workshops, classes, seminars and mentoring.

==Location==
LVL1 shall continuously maintain in the Commonwealth of Kentucky a registered office and a registered agent
whose business office, for the purposes of this corporation, is identical with such registered office. The registered
office shall be the physical location of our workspace. In the event that we do not have a physical workspace, the
registered office shall be determined by the board of directors.

==Membership==
This Corporation shall have one class of members: Full Members. Founding Members are completely equivalent to Full Members. Founding Member is a temporary designation to recognize dues paying members, prior to LVL1 securing a physical location. No member shall hold more than one membership.
===Eligibility===
Any person 18 years of age or older shall become a Member upon:

*Signature of at least 3 current members to act as member sponsors
*Verification of a completed membership form by the Secretary, and
*Timely payment of dues as determined by the board of directors.

A member must also provide government-issued photo identification to
at least two members of the board of directors at the time of payment
of the first membership fee, and provide an electronic mail address
for receiving official notice of members' meetings. Any person who
does meet these requirements is a Member of LVL1.

The first 3 months of membership shall be considered provisional.
During this 3 month period, only unique keys to access the space will
be provided. If a new member fails to fulfill the responsibilities of
membership during this period, Full Members may object to the
membership. Objections to membership shall be directed to the member in question and the Board of
Directors for attempted mediation. If during this 3 month period there
are more unresolved objections to the membership than sponsors for the
membership, the membership shall be terminated.

===Rights and Responsibilities===
Full Members enjoy the following privileges:
* A key or other method of entry to the physical workspace.
* Twenty-four hour access to the physical workspace.
* Store a reasonable amount of equipment at the workspace.
* Sponsor a qualified person for a membership vote.
* Eligibility to submit and authorize Funding Allocation Petitions
* Eligibility to vote on any issue put before the membership.
* Eligibility to vote for officers and directors.
Full Members must also fulfill the following responsibilities:
* A member must thoughtfully contribute to LVL1's direction and policies.
* A member must pay the monthly fee as determined by the board of directors.
* A member must provide their current address, contact information, and preference for electronic receipt of communications.
* At the time a member's eligibility is terminated, they must forfeit his or her method of entry in addition to any other property owned by LVL1 to a member of the board of directors or an agent designated by the board of directors for this purpose.
* A member must abide by the LVL1 Harassment Policy.

===Dues===
# The amount of the first monthly membership dues must be determined by the Board of Directors and after that the monthly membership dues must be determined at the annual general meeting of the corporation.

# A fundraising effort can be terminated at the request of the fundraiser or a quorum membership vote.
# Contractual Fundraising (e.g. Grants)
## This section applies to all fundraising efforts that require the organization to enter into a contract. Theses efforts henceforth will be called “grants.”

# Non-contractual Fundraising (e.g. Donations, Events, Workshops)
## Proceeds from these activities may be designated towards a specific fundraising effort of the donor or hosts choosing. The proceeds for a fundraising effort will only be used for the stated purpose of that effort at the time of their accounting.
## When a fundraising effort is completed or terminated, any remaining funds will be accounted to the general fund, unless otherwise specified by the donor or hosts upon receipt of funds.

# Approval and disapproval for a FAP can be gathered through physical or electronic means over the course of one week.
# When more than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have approved a FAP, it is given to the Treasurer, and upon verification it is approved. Members may rescind their approval at the time of verification; or any time prior to final verification.
# One week after submission, a FAP that has not received a full 50% approval from members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, will end. At that time, the FAP passes if two conditions are met:
##More than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have responded to the FAP with either approval or disapproval.
##More than 50% of those member responses approve the FAP.
# The Treasurer will notify the membership when a FAP is approved and include the following information in the notification:
##Total amount authorized for the FAP.
##The verified members authorizing the FAP.
# FAP authorization will expire 2 months after approval. When the FAP authorization expires, the remaining FAP funds return to the general fund.

==Harassment Policy==

LVL1 is a place for persons of all backgrounds to make amazing things. Therefore, LVL1 is dedicated to being a harassment-free hackerspace for everyone. LVL1 establishes the following policy to ensure a harassment-free atmosphere.

===Harassment Definition===

The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassment, verbal or physical, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, physical appearance, parental status, political beliefs or any other distinction that creates discomfort for an individual. The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassing behaviors including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual attention, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording or inappropriate physical contact.

===Community Guidelines===

LVL1 presents the following guidelines to prevent harassment.

# Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
# When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
# You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
# When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
# When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
# Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.

===Violation of this Policy===

All persons asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. LVL1 encourages persons involved to discuss transgressions of this policy in a mature manner prior to reporting an offense to the Board of Directors. If the harassment continues or the transgression is severe, LVL1 encourages the community to report the behavior to any member of the Board of Directors. The Directors are committed to take all claims of harassment seriously and to treat all concerns with the strictest confidentiality.

When a violation of this policy is reported to a member of the board of directors, the board will open an investigation. The board will seek all necessary information from all persons involved, evaluate the information, and develop a plan of recourse within the Board’s powers.
The Board of Directors is empowered to take the following actions against persons in violation of this policy:

# A warning
# A temporary ban from the premises for a to-be-determined duration of time approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
# A permanent ban from the premises approved by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.

The Board may skip to more serious consequences at its discretion. A warning will only be given once.

The Secretary will keep a record of all allegations, information gathered, and penalties assessed. This record will only be accessible by the Board of Directors.

Members may rescind their approval at the time of verification; or any time prior to final verification.
# One week after submission, a FAP that has not received a full 50% approval from members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, will end. At that time, the FAP passes if two conditions are met:
##More than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have responded to the FAP with either approval or disapproval.
##More than 50% of those member responses approve the FAP.
# The Treasurer will notify the membership when a FAP is approved and include the following information in the notification:

==Harassment Policy==

LVL1 is a place for persons of all backgrounds to make amazing things. Therefore, LVL1 is dedicated to being a harassment-free hackerspace for everyone. LVL1 establishes the following policy to ensure a harassment-free atmosphere.

===Harassment Definition===

The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassment, verbal or physical, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, physical appearance, parental status, political beliefs or any other distinction that creates discomfort for an individual. The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassing behaviors including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual attention, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording or inappropriate physical contact.

===Community Guidelines===

LVL1 presents the following guidelines to prevent harassment.

# Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
# When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
# You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
# When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
# When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
# Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.

===Violation of this Policy===

All persons asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. LVL1 encourages persons involved to discuss transgressions of this policy in a mature manner prior to reporting an offense to the Board of Directors. If the harassment continues or the transgression is severe, LVL1 encourages the community to report the behavior to any member of the Board of Directors. The Directors are committed to take all claims of harassment seriously and to treat all concerns with the strictest confidentiality.

When a violation of this policy is reported to a member of the board of directors, the board will open an investigation. The board will seek all necessary information from all persons involved, evaluate the information, and develop a plan of recourse within the Board’s powers.
The Board of Directors is empowered to take the following actions against persons in violation of this policy:

# A warning
# A temporary ban from the premises for a to-be-determined duration of time approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
# A permanent ban from the premises approved by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.

The Board may skip to more serious consequences at its discretion. A warning will only be given once.

This corporation shall be known as LVL1 (hereinafter also referred to as the "Corporation").

===Statement of Purpose===
LVL1 Inc, Not for Profit Company is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes within the
meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or the corresponding section of any future United
States Internal Revenue law). Its mission includes, but is not limited to:
* Providing workspace, equipment and other resources for communal use by all members.

==Location==
LVL1 shall continuously maintain in the Commonwealth of Kentucky a registered office and a registered agent
whose business office, for the purposes of this corporation, is identical with such registered office. The registered
office shall be the physical location of our workspace. In the event that we do not have a physical workspace, the
registered office shall be determined by the board of directors.

==Membership==
This Corporation shall have one class of members: Full Members. Founding Members are completely equivalent to Full Members. Founding Member is a temporary designation to recognize dues paying members, prior to LVL1 securing a physical location. No member shall hold more than one membership.
===Eligibility===
Any person 18 years of age or older shall become a Member upon:

*Signature of at least 3 current members to act as member sponsors
*Verification of a completed membership form by the Secretary, and
*Timely payment of dues as determined by the board of directors.

A member must also provide government-issued photo identification to
at least two members of the board of directors at the time of payment
of the first membership fee, and provide an electronic mail address
for receiving official notice of members' meetings. Any person who
does meet these requirements is a Member of LVL1.

The first 3 months of membership shall be considered provisional.
During this 3 month period, only unique keys to access the space will
be provided. If a new member fails to fulfill the responsibilities of
membership during this period, Full Members may object to the
membership. Objections to membership shall be directed to the member in question and the Board of
Directors for attempted mediation. If during this 3 month period there
are more unresolved objections to the membership than sponsors for the
membership, the membership shall be terminated.

===Rights and Responsibilities===
Full Members enjoy the following privileges:

==Harassment Policy==

LVL1 is a place for persons of all backgrounds to make amazing things. Therefore, LVL1 is dedicated to being a harassment-free hackerspace for everyone. LVL1 establishes the following policy to ensure a harassment-free atmosphere.

===Harassment Definition===

The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassment, verbal or physical, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, physical appearance, parental status, political beliefs or any other distinction that creates discomfort for an individual. The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassing behaviors including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual attention, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording or inappropriate physical contact.

===Community Guidelines===

LVL1 presents the following guidelines to prevent harassment.

# Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
# When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
# You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
# When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
# When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
# Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.

===Violation of this Policy===

All persons asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. LVL1 encourages persons involved to discuss transgressions of this policy in a mature manner prior to reporting an offense to the Board of Directors. If the harassment continues or the transgression is severe, LVL1 encourages the community to report the behavior to any member of the Board of Directors. The Directors are committed to take all claims of harassment seriously and to treat all concerns with the strictest confidentiality.

When a violation of this policy is reported to a member of the board of directors, the board will open an investigation. The board will seek all necessary information from all persons involved, evaluate the information, and develop a plan of recourse within the Board’s powers.
The Board of Directors is empowered to take the following actions against persons in violation of this policy:

# A warning
# A temporary ban from the premises for a to-be-determined duration of time approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
# A permanent ban from the premises approved by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.

The Board may skip to more serious consequences at its discretion. A warning will only be given once.

Members may rescind their approval at the time of verification; or any time prior to final verification.
# One week after submission, a FAP that has not received a full 50% approval from members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, will end. At that time, the FAP passes if two conditions are met:
##More than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have responded to the FAP with either approval or disapproval.

# The Treasurer will notify the membership when a FAP is approved and include the following information in the notification:

==Harassment Policy==

LVL1 is a place for persons of all backgrounds to make amazing things. Therefore, LVL1 is dedicated to being a harassment-free hackerspace for everyone. LVL1 establishes the following policy to ensure a harassment-free atmosphere.

===Harassment Definition===

The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassment, verbal or physical, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, physical appearance, parental status, political beliefs or any other distinction that creates discomfort for an individual. The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassing behaviors including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual attention, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording or inappropriate physical contact.

===Community Guidelines===

LVL1 presents the following guidelines to prevent harassment.

# Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
# When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
# You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
# When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
# When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
# Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.

===Violation of this Policy===

All persons asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. LVL1 encourages persons involved to discuss transgressions of this policy in a mature manner prior to reporting an offense to the Board of Directors. If the harassment continues or the transgression is severe, LVL1 encourages the community to report the behavior to any member of the Board of Directors. The Directors are committed to take all claims of harassment seriously and to treat all concerns with the strictest confidentiality.

When a violation of this policy is reported to a member of the board of directors, the board will open an investigation. The board will seek all necessary information from all persons involved, evaluate the information, and develop a plan of recourse within the Board’s powers.
The Board of Directors is empowered to take the following actions against persons in violation of this policy:

# A warning
# A temporary ban from the premises for a to-be-determined duration of time approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
# A permanent ban from the premises approved by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.

The Board may skip to more serious consequences at its discretion. A warning will only be given once.

The Secretary will keep a record of all allegations, information gathered, and penalties assessed. This record will only be accessible by the Board of Directors.

This document details the operation of LVL1 Inc.
==Overview==
===Name===
This corporation shall be known as LVL1 (hereinafter also referred to as the "Corporation").

===Statement of Purpose===
LVL1 Inc, Not for Profit Company is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes within the
meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or the corresponding section of any future United
States Internal Revenue law). Its mission includes, but is not limited to:
* Providing workspace, equipment and other resources for communal use by all members.
* Creating a safe and open environment for experimentation in technology and art.
* Encouraging continued learning through workshops, classes, seminars and mentoring.

==Location==
LVL1 shall continuously maintain in the Commonwealth of Kentucky a registered office and a registered agent
whose business office, for the purposes of this corporation, is identical with such registered office. The registered
office shall be the physical location of our workspace. In the event that we do not have a physical workspace, the
registered office shall be determined by the board of directors.

==Membership==
This Corporation shall have one class of members: Full Members. Founding Members are completely equivalent to Full Members. Founding Member is a temporary designation to recognize dues paying members, prior to LVL1 securing a physical location. No member shall hold more than one membership.
===Eligibility===
Any person 18 years of age or older shall become a Member upon:

*Signature of at least 3 current members to act as member sponsors
*Verification of a completed membership form by the Secretary, and
*Timely payment of dues as determined by the board of directors.

A member must also provide government-issued photo identification to
at least two members of the board of directors at the time of payment
of the first membership fee, and provide an electronic mail address
for receiving official notice of members' meetings. Any person who
does meet these requirements is a Member of LVL1.

The first 3 months of membership shall be considered provisional.
During this 3 month period, only unique keys to access the space will
be provided. If a new member fails to fulfill the responsibilities of
membership during this period, Full Members may object to the
membership. Objections to membership shall be directed to the member in question and the Board of
Directors for attempted mediation. If during this 3 month period there
are more unresolved objections to the membership than sponsors for the
membership, the membership shall be terminated.

===Rights and Responsibilities===
Full Members enjoy the following privileges:
* A key or other method of entry to the physical workspace.
* Twenty-four hour access to the physical workspace.
* Store a reasonable amount of equipment at the workspace.
* Sponsor a qualified person for a membership vote.
* Eligibility to submit and authorize Funding Allocation Petitions
* Eligibility to vote on any issue put before the membership.
* Eligibility to vote for officers and directors.
Full Members must also fulfill the following responsibilities:
* A member must thoughtfully contribute to LVL1's direction and policies.
* A member must pay the monthly fee as determined by the board of directors.
* A member must provide their current address, contact information, and preference for electronic receipt of communications.
* At the time a member's eligibility is terminated, they must forfeit his or her method of entry in addition to any other property owned by LVL1 to a member of the board of directors or an agent designated by the board of directors for this purpose.
* A member must abide by the LVL1 Harassment Policy.

===Dues===
# The amount of the first monthly membership dues must be determined by the Board of Directors and after that the monthly membership dues must be determined at the annual general meeting of the corporation.
# The Board of Directors shall determine the dues for Full Members such that the corporation shall be financially sustained.
# All members are in good standing except a member who has failed to pay his or her current monthly membership fee, or any other subscription or debt due and owing by the member to the corporation, and the member is not in good standing so long as the debt remains unpaid.
# Member dues may be waived for a three month period due to financial hardship or relocation by written petition signed by more than three quarters (3/4ths) of the Board of Directors. Payment of dues may be waived for any other reason only by voting members at a duly called meeting.

===Inactive Membership===

#A Full Member may temporarily designate their status as Inactive and suspend their membership dues, rights and responsibilities for reasons including, but not limited to, academic pursuit, military service or professional relocation.
#The member must send their notice of Inactive Membership to the Board of Directors, stating the reason for their membership inactivity.
#After notification, Inactive status for the Member will begin on their first non-payment of monthly membership dues. For the duration of the inactivity, he or she shall not be considered a Full Member. The Inactive Member may at any time again become a Full Member, provided he or she assumes the Member Rights and Responsibilities in full.

===Suspension of Membership===
# Membership may be suspended for non-payment of dues or in consequence of violating the anti-harassment policy, as determined by the Board of Directors.
# Any suspended member may restore their membership '''90 days''' after suspension upon payment of dues owed and payable through one month beyond the end of the suspension period.
# In order for the suspension to be lifted, the suspended member must go through the same vetting process as occurs on acceptance of a new member.
# A majority of the board can vote to suspend the membership of a member, at which time their access to the space will also be suspended.

===Termination of Membership===
# A person ceases to be a member of the corporation
## by delivering his or her resignation in writing to the Board of Directors,
## on his or her death,
## on being expelled, or
## on having been a member not in good standing for '''3 consecutive months''', except by special arrangement at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
# Any member may resign by filing a written resignation with the Board of Directors or by mailing or delivering it to the address of the corporation.
# Resignation shall not relieve a member of unpaid dues or other monies owed.
# Membership may also be terminated for any reason by resolution passed by more than '''three quarters (3/4ths)''' of the voting members.
## Notice of termination shall be given by any method reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to the member.
## The notice of special resolution for expulsion must be accompanied by a brief statement of the reasons for the proposed expulsion.
## The member shall be given an opportunity to be heard, either orally or in writing, before the effective date of the proposed termination.
## The hearing shall be held, or the written statement considered, by the members.
## The members shall then vote on whether the membership is to be terminated.

===Fundraising===
# LVL1 will keep account of funds acquired by grants, donations, events and workshops.
# A fundraising effort can be terminated at the request of the fundraiser or a quorum membership vote.
# Contractual Fundraising (e.g. Grants)
## This section applies to all fundraising efforts that require the organization to enter into a contract. Theses efforts henceforth will be called “grants.”
## Members have the right to apply for grants on the behalf of the organization if the application is first approved by a simple majority of the Board of Directors
## The criteria used by the Board of Directors in evaluating and approving a grant application includes, but is not limited to:
### Grant application further supports the organization’s mission as defined under Statement of Purpose in these bylaws
### Grant application does not jeopardize the organization’s status as a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit corporation
### Grant application does not create a situation that violates the organization’s lease/rental agreement
### Grant application does not create an unsafe environment within the premises
## Upon approval, the Board of Directors will assign a board member to assist the grant applicant in completing all required paperwork (e.g.providing signatures on behalf of the organization).
## Proceeds awarded by a grant will only be spent in accordance to the grant proposal as approved by the Board of Directors. The grant applicant will be solely responsible for allocation of grant proceeds.
## Any grant funds awarded but not approved by the Board of Directors will be classified as unspent funds
## Any unspent funds will be returned in accordance to the grant’s guidelines/contract or otherwise will be accounted to the general fund.
# Non-contractual Fundraising (e.g. Donations, Events, Workshops)
## Proceeds from these activities may be designated towards a specific fundraising effort of the donor or hosts choosing. The proceeds for a fundraising effort will only be used for the stated purpose of that effort at the time of their accounting.
## When a fundraising effort is completed or terminated, any remaining funds will be accounted to the general fund, unless otherwise specified by the donor or hosts upon receipt of funds.

=== Funds Allocation Petition ===
# Members have the right to submit a Funding Allocation Petition (FAP) to membership to allow the release of general funds. FAPs will include:
##Total amount of the requested funds.
##A short description of how the released funds will be spent towards the collective use, collective benefit or collective prestige of LVL1.
# Approval and disapproval for a FAP can be gathered through physical or electronic means over the course of one week.
# When more than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have approved a FAP, it is given to the Treasurer, and upon verification it is approved. Members may rescind their approval at the time of verification; or any time prior to final verification.
# One week after submission, a FAP that has not received a full 50% approval from members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, will end. At that time, the FAP passes if two conditions are met:
##More than 50% of members in good-standing, excluding those that have voluntarily suspended their voting rights, have responded to the FAP with either approval or disapproval.
##More than 50% of those member responses approve the FAP.
# The Treasurer will notify the membership when a FAP is approved and include the following information in the notification:
##Total amount authorized for the FAP.
##The verified members authorizing the FAP.
# FAP authorization will expire 2 months after approval. When the FAP authorization expires, the remaining FAP funds return to the general fund.

==Harassment Policy==

LVL1 is a place for persons of all backgrounds to make amazing things. Therefore, LVL1 is dedicated to being a harassment-free hackerspace for everyone. LVL1 establishes the following policy to ensure a harassment-free atmosphere.

===Harassment Definition===

The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassment, verbal or physical, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender-identity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, physical appearance, parental status, political beliefs or any other distinction that creates discomfort for an individual. The LVL1 community will not tolerate any harassing behaviors including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual attention, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording or inappropriate physical contact.

===Community Guidelines===

LVL1 presents the following guidelines to prevent harassment.

# Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
# When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
# You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
# When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
# When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
# Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.

===Violation of this Policy===

All persons asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. LVL1 encourages persons involved to discuss transgressions of this policy in a mature manner prior to reporting an offense to the Board of Directors. If the harassment continues or the transgression is severe, LVL1 encourages the community to report the behavior to any member of the Board of Directors. The Directors are committed to take all claims of harassment seriously and to treat all concerns with the strictest confidentiality.

When a violation of this policy is reported to a member of the board of directors, the board will open an investigation. The board will seek all necessary information from all persons involved, evaluate the information, and develop a plan of recourse within the Board’s powers.
The Board of Directors is empowered to take the following actions against persons in violation of this policy:

# A warning
# A temporary ban from the premises for a to-be-determined duration of time approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
# A permanent ban from the premises approved by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.

The Board may skip to more serious consequences at its discretion. A warning will only be given once.

The Secretary will keep a record of all allegations, information gathered, and penalties assessed. This record will only be accessible by the Board of Directors.

Regular meetings for LVL1 shall be held Tuesday nights at 8pm. The
meeting shall be held at the registered address or at a location
determined by the board of directors.

To be nominated to serve as an at-large director, a member must fulfill the same eligibility requirements as an officer
as stated elsewhere in these bylaws.
====Nomination====
Nomination of at-large director candidates shall be done by the same process as officer elections as detailed elsewhere
in these bylaws.
====Election====
Elections for at-large directors shall take place at the annual meeting. All directors shall be elected at the same time, by the process determined in these bylaws for Votes of the Membership, except that every full member will have three votes with which to apply to the nominees. The three nominees with the most votes shall be the at-large directors until the next election. If only three people are timely nominated to run for at-large director positions and accept their nominations, they shall run unopposed. If only two or '''fewer''' persons are timely nominated to run for at-large director, then they shall run unopposed. An election for the remaining seats shall occur at the meeting. Nominations for candidates to fill the unfilled seats shall be accepted at the meeting, and an election shall follow. That election shall follow all rules for a Vote of the Membership as defined in these bylaws. If nobody is timely nominated to run for at-large director, an election for all seats shall occur at the meeting. Nominations for candidates to fill all seats shall be accepted at the meeting, and an election shall follow. That election shall follow all rules for a Vote of the Membership as defined in the bylaws, except that each Full Member shall get three votes, and the three candidates with the most votes shall become at-large directors. If nobody accepts nomination to run for at-large director positions, the existing at-large directors may choose to retain their positions or choose to appoint another member to their seat. If less than three persons run for at-large director but nobody accepts nomination to run for the remaining seats, a number of then-existing at-large directors equaling the number of remaining seats may choose to retain their seat or appoint another person to it. The at-large directors may choose who retains this power by agreement or, if all want to retain it or appoint a successor, may settle the dispute in a manner proposed by the current President and agreed to by the members with a vote by the process determined in these bylaws for Votes of the Membership.
====Naming Rights====
Every director has the right to append a director title for the duration of his or her tenure. The responsibilities of
each director remain the same as detailed in the bylaws.
====Expiration of Term====
An at-large director's term shall expire at the Annual Meeting following his election.
====Resignation====
Any at-large director may resign at any time by written notice delivered to the president or secretary of the corporation.
A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a future date. The pending
vacancy may be filled before the effective date, but the successor shall not take office until the effective date.
In the event that an at-large director resigns, Full Members shall elect a replacement at-large director using the
membership voting procedure defined in these bylaws. Nominations for people to run to replace the at-large director
who has resigned shall open when the at-large director tenders his resignation, and remain open for one week. Members
shall elect the replacement at-large director among the candidates who have been nominated and accepted their
nomination, using the Votes of the Membership procedures in these bylaws. The replacement officer's term shall last
until new at-large directors are elected at the next Annual Meeting.

===Responsibilities===
The Board of Directors is a body that shall fulfill all roles required
by Kentucky law. Any decisions not mandated by Kentucky law to fall
with the Board of Directors may only be delegated to the Board of
Directors by a vote of the membership to amend these bylaws to
explicitly give the board of directors such decision making power. Any
policy affecting the organization at-large will, unless stated
otherwise, be decided upon by the voting membership. The Board of
'''Directors''' are responsible for knowing and enforcing adherence to
bylaws.

===Officer Oversight===
The Board of Directors is responsible for making sure the officers of LVL1 are performing their duties
as defined by these '''bylaws''', and providing any assistance that the Officers may need in performing those duties.
This responsibility extends to oversight of the officers, but does not extend to altering the scope of the officers'
duties, or to the authority to remove an officer. The Board of Directors does not have authority to alter the scope of an
officers' duties or remove an officer from his position; any such decision must be made by a vote of the membership.

===Drafting the Agenda===
The Board of Directors is responsible for collecting a list of the issues on the agenda for each membership meeting,
and circulating that list to the members for them to vote on at the upcoming meeting.
This responsibility is purely ministerial. The Board of Directors has no power to decide which issues are brought
to the membership for a vote. As long as an issue is submitted in a timely fashion, within the time frame defined by
these bylaws, the Board of Directors must place it on the agenda and submit it to the members for a vote at the next
meeting, within the time frame defined by these bylaws for circulating notice of a Vote of the Membership.
Directors have the right to make nonbinding suggestions about the proposals added to the agenda. However, these
suggestions are not binding on the membership, and members are free to discuss, debate, and vote on a proposal no
matter what, if anything, directors may say about the motion.
The Board of Directors need not call a formal meeting to draft the agenda.

===Meetings===
The Board of Directors shall have an annual meeting, as required by law. The annual meeting of the board
of directors shall be on the third Tuesday in January. Notice of this annual meeting shall be provided electronically
to all directors and members of the organization, at the e-mail address provided to the corporation, at least 5 days in

special meeting shall be provided electronically to all directors and members of the organization, at the e-mail address
provided to the corporation, at least 5 days in advance. Notice shall also be posted at the corporation's registered
address.
All full members may attend any meeting of the board of directors.

=== Corporate Seal ===
The Board of Directors may adopt, use and modify a corporate seal. Failure to affix the seal to corporate documents shall not affect the validity of such documents.
=== Indemnification ===
Any officer or director of the LVL1 shall be indemnified to the full extent allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
=== Conflict of Interest ===
# Any member of the board who has a financial, personal, or official interest in, or conflict (or appearance of a conflict) with any matter pending before the Board, of such nature that it prevents or may prevent that member from acting on the matter in an impartial manner, will offer to the Board to voluntarily excuse him/herself and will vacate his seat and refrain from discussion and voting on said item.
