Objections?

Point 1: New Board

(Vanessa, 1 min) New period within our community! Define transition period: transfer sensitive information to new board members acquiring a new role:

  • welcome protocols
  • keywords & access to accounts (bank, social media)
  • HKRM calendar, UC meetings etc...

Make sure you bring in your project, ideas and concrete actions to develop in the future. Any question/comment/suggestion? We need to make sure everyone can express their vision.

Point 2: Biosafety & Lab management

(Vanessa, 3 min)

  • Things to get done (by Yann P. on the slack)

Fix the eye washers with the instructions against the wall next to the sink Find the bandaid box / medic box we had and put it in evidence somewhere in the lab (preferable close to the eyewashers) Make sure we have a fire extinguisher. Put it on the left of the sink Control if the asso has a "responsabilité civile" insurance. If not, look how we can get one.

  • Should we have a Biosafety guide/instruction/manager? (Chemicals, biohazard containers for aitoclave or blitch...)

Philosophy

Philosophy, Role and Governance should be a continuous discussion thread, Organization of an Open Hackuarium? (Shalf?) here?

Role

Based on the achievements, should we keep what we have done best as a community, and focus on this?

Governance

Do we want to change the governance system?
Yann: Absolutely : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15ARwPUZ4cHjsW-Ln0zprL5_79EtrDg_xYbWbdIWZVUs/edit#gid=0

Do we want to distribute responsibility for communication, social media, etc.?
Yann: Absolutely and for more than just this. ALL (literally all) the members have to be involved --> FB, TW, etc access?
