 == Background ==
-There has been an idea going around that the Board of Directors can create board voted policy if it meets certain qualifications.
+=== The Issue ===
-Under the section: [[bylaws#Issues Proper for a Vote of the Directors]]
+There was an attempt at enforcement of a contractual obligation of the space by making a board voted policy.  The policies are fundamentally sound, but the objectives of the policies can be attained more efficiently:
-There is a specific line:
+# If no policy is required to follow existing contractual obligations of the space.
+# If the language can be updated by members familiar with the area of law of best practices.
-     to fulfill any obligations to ensure the health of the organization.
+Concern has been expressed about how to communicate newly discovered caveats to contractual obligations.  This vote proposes that the information be disseminated the same way votes are:
-* The word "obligations" and the phrase "health of the organization" can be interpreted in a lot of ways.
+* The mailing list
-* There are a lot of ways a policy can be written that fulfill obligations, and the membership should be guaranteed, a hand in that process, as we are with member votes
+* Signage near affected areas
-* A policy produced by a minority of the membership without feedback from the general membership can not hope to attain the the same rigor in quality standards that a membership vote has.
+* The wiki
-* A policy created may not be tied to the reason it was created, and may not self invalidate if that reason changes. e.g. A contractual agreement expires.
+* Meeting notes.
-=== Misconceptions ===
+=== Disadvantages of votes to obey contractual obligations ===
-* This proposal does not grant the ability to vote to break the law. See [[Bylaws#Issues Proper for a Vote of the Membership]].
+* Voting to comply with a contractual agreement carries the implication that a vote is required to comply with a contractual obligation.
-* If the space has made contractual obligations in the past, those contractual obligations continue to hold, and additional policy is optional.
+* Vote language for contractual compliance is imprecise, and difficult to correct.
+* The exact minimum compliance language is difficult to obtain, and minimum compliance is not always desireble, as is the case with [[Bylaws#Issues_Proper_for_a_Vote_of_the_Directors  fulfilling obligations that ensure the health of the organization]]
+=== Noteworthy caveats ===
+* Members do not have the ability to vote to break the law. See [[Bylaws#Issues Proper for a Vote of the Membership]].
 == Language ==
-*  Member's of pumping station one will continue to honor contractual agreements of the space.
+* Member's of pumping station one will continue to honor contractual agreements of the space.
+* All member's of PS:One may curate documentation on contractual obligation, be it in electronic or hard copy form.
