The Roles

The Board

The role of the board is explained in detail in the board document.

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 the guidelines and the system.
• Solve problems when do-ocracy cannot fix them.
• Elect board, validate membership decisions made by the board.
• 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.
