Rules and Consequences

Proposed Rules and Consequences

These are currently only proposed rules and consequences these will need to be activated by a bylaw change.

Proposed Bylaw change

The board may set uncontroversial rules in order to protect equipment, maintain the lease, and protect the existence of LVL1. These rules must be submitted to the membership for examination for a minimum of 7 days, and, if no unresolved objections, can be instituted without a vote of the membership. The rules must be posted publicly in physical form to be in affect. If three full members object to a rule already in effect, it must be submitted and announced by mailing list to the membership for a vote at the next weekly meeting.
