→Problems with Draft 3 language
As it is written now, PS:One's members have become obligated to pay the rent, seeing as they individually must honor the contractual agreements of the space. Also, if this is supposed to eliminate the need for the insurance-related policies, it doesn't work. It only applies to members. So it follows that the guest of a member, or a non-member attending a public event, isn't bound by the organization's contracts, so they can bring their dog and get drunk after 2 AM. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 15:28, 9 May 2015 (CDT)

:Sorry, what's the problem with this? The members '''ARE''', in fact, obligated to pay the rent. The members are the stakeholders of Pumping Station: One, NFP. So from a legal standpoint this is '''probably''' the most correct way to put it. And you are correct that these policies only apply to members. All of our policies and bylaws apply only to members. There is no expectation that someone who is not a member and has not agreed to our member agreement/bylaws/policies is bound by them. A '''guest''' of the space is exactly that. A guest. And they are only allowed to be in the space as long as a member allows them to be. We can ask a guest to leave for any reason, whether we have a policy about it or not. If someone who is not a member breaks our rules and the member who is hosting that guest refuses to do anything about it, then that member would be held responsible for the actions of their guest.
:And just to get terribly pedantic, the bylaws '''do''' state that [[Bylaws#Membership_Agreement_Amendment|guests must abide by the member agreement]]. It would be the responsibility of that guest's host to make sure their guest is aware of what they can and cannot do in Pumping Station: One. --[[User:Justin|Justin]] ([[User talk:Justin|talk]]) 09:51, 11 May 2015 (CDT)
