  • Address hole in membership rules for visitors who are minors. Suggest letting them attend classes, but preventing using anything more dangerous than a computer keyboard without parental permission.
  • Add procedure to membership rules for letting space out to third parties. This should focus on places that are in line with our educational mission. We don't want it to become unrelated business income.
