- What makes a project a community contribution vs a loan to the space vs a pure personal project?
- I believe this would be the intent of the project/property owner. I don't see a significant difference between "loan to the space" and "pure personal project". In all cases, without proper paperwork, the property is not a community contribution, and should be regarding as such taking the associated risks into account. Basically, don't use it if you need to own it and don't own it. --Hef (talk) 14:04, 17 June 2018 (CDT)
- How can ownership be effectively managed and tracked so as to reduce disputes among members?
- What authority does the Board have to set reasonable guidelines for any personal project that is installed into the common space, so as to promote safety, cleanliness, and fairness to all members, yet still encouraging the spirit of JFDI space modification?
- Software and network configuration are nuanced enough that they deserve special mention - especially since there are multiple people modifying these systems over time, multiple software licenses at play, etc.
- Member personal data is nuanced enough that it deserves special mention. I believe that members' personal data needs to be protected by the Board per a strong privacy policy; that personal projects are distinct from members' personal data; and that personal projects should never put personal data at risk.
- Agreed. An organizational privacy policy would need to be followed by anyone doing any kind of data entry related to member data, and anyone doing data entry may need to secure appropriate agreements with vendors of services. --Hef (talk) 14:04, 17 June 2018 (CDT)
- This is fairly tangential to this proposal, but it would be nice to limit how data collected in the space can be used without permission. --Hef (talk) 14:04, 17 June 2018 (CDT)
- I believe it would be appropriate for vendors to secure agreements with member's directly where appropriate. e.g. I'd like to send you an email, can I have your email address. --Hef (talk) 14:04, 17 June 2018 (CDT)
- I think that writing a privacy policy in addition to property protections is a lot of scope creep for what this proposal is trying to accomplish. --Hef (talk) 14:04, 17 June 2018 (CDT)
- Clarify what happens when a member spends their own money to modify the space in a permanent manner.
- The member should submit a written record that it is a donation, and get a donation receipt. Failing that, if they want to retrieve the permanent modification that is difficult but possible, that's fine. If it's an architectural modification, they are modifying something that has an owner (the space) and ownership doesn't implicitly transfer.
- Define a lightweight, formal process for contributing a personal project to the community.
- Create a glossary that defines these terms formally in your proposal.
