# 5. Membership

## Group Of Members

*The members make and maintain the hacker environment.*

When a conflict/problem can not be resolved between individuals/via do-ocracy or when it impacts the group, a group decision is required.  Any member can request that a decision is made by the Group Of Members instead of by do-ocracy/individual members.

They are responsible for

- Creating and patching Hack the Hackerspace.
- Solve problems when do-ocracy cannot fix them.
- Electing the board during a General Assembly.
- Organize workshops, events, lectures.

## Individual members

*The individuals have to be excellent.*

- Follow Do-ocracy.
- Actively try to fix problems.
- Maintain personal safety and that of others.
- Follow and enforce the Guidelines.

## Non-members

Non-members are also an important part of the space. They can contribute to the hacker environment and they can be potential members. However, non-members have less privileges than members.

- Non-members are only allowed in the space when they are in company of a member. That member is responsible for the actions of the non-member.
- Non-members have to follow the guidelines. A non-member is not allowed to challenge a decision made by the group. If the non-member disagree with a decision made by the group, then they should become a member and bring the topic forward on a meeting.
