Attendance

Bylaws
- We need to flesh out the individual duties of the positions so that members know what we are holding ourselves accountable for
Dues
- We may wish to consider taking an anonymous poll of what people would find reasonable to pay
- Hacker Consortium
  - $100 - joining fee, keeps people from dropping in and out regularly
  - $40/month - after
  - No student rate
  - If board sees fit, as a whole they are allowed to create new tiers on the fly (i.e. a member had a wreck and can't pay at the moment)
- Freeside Atlanta
  - $80/month - regular
  - $40/month - student
  - They are hard set on their dues, but as a result they have a really awesome space
- Makers Local 256
  - Some pay $300, others $100, some $30
  - They ask that you pay what you think your time is worth, but that leaves it to other members to pickup the slack
  - As a result they have members who pay a lot more and that member gets to have a little/lot more say in things
- Pumping Station: One
  - $50 - regular
  - $30 - starving maker
  - They've had some setup before where unemployed members may not pay, but I believe they regularly do the starving maker fee
