Policy

Policy

• Anti-oppression
  • SkullSpace should be a safe place for anyone at all to hang out and participate in.
  • This means having a policy that forbids the following types of behaviors: misogynism, patriarchism, homophobia, classism, racism, etc.
• Membership fee
  • Everybody pays membership fees. There are no exceptions.
  • All memberships are $40, and members can optionally do a monthly donation along with their membership fees.
• Employees
  • SkullSpace does not have any employees. Everyone who does any work on behalf of SkullSpace does so purely on a volunteer basis. This isn't about making money, this is about building a community.
• CED
  • SkullSpace should adhere to Community Economic Development principles whenever possible.
• Open Source
  • SkullSpace should use primarily free and open source software whenever possible.

• Privacy
  • We will not publish a list of our members.
  • We will not release the financial details of any of our members.
  • We will not release a list of the emails of our members.
  • It should be noted that a dedicated individual could derive information on their own based on mailing list posts, etc.
• Excellence
  • Members should be excellent to each other. This is in the bylaws.

• Security
  • The last person to leave the space is responsible for ensuring that all doors are locked, including the elevator doors
  • The main door of the building should be left locked, except during the hours that the Cre8ary is open (if it is locked, leave it locked; if it is unlocked, leave it unlocked).
• Modifications
  • Members are encouraged to "be bold" when it comes to making changes to the space - the space, after all, belongs to everybody
  • For major changes, or potentially dangerous or disruptive changes, the Operations Manager (or a delegate) should be made aware
