6. Updates from outside board meetings

a. David Earl, Ed Bennett, Rob German, and Kevin and Kevin Huemann met with a lawyer on 12/23/2020 to review current methods of handling legal-adjacent matters at PS1. Some highlight outcomes:

- it's OK for members to call the police (tell them they can do this)

- reinforce to members: do not let anyone in the space without prior planning (i.e. if you are working with a new or exisiting member to get a new fob)

- fob control on machines will help protect against potential instances of negligence

- ensure all banned persons, whether a current member or not, go through a procedure/process

- PS1 has the freedom to associate with who we want as long as it does not go against official law & policies of the United States government

- when banning someone, send two letters: one certified and one not
