Meeting Minutes 202603033 March 2026Proposal to change standing rules to include a Conflict of Interest and Recusal Policy for Board Members, Officers, and Members conducting business on behalf of i3. If passed, this language would go under the Board of Directors, Officers, and Elections section of the Standing Rules as Item #5. See the following language.

5. Conflict of Interest/Recusal Policy

  • All Board Members, Officers, and Members who conduct business on behalf of i3 shall hold a fiduciary responsibility to i3.
  • All Board Members and Officers of i3 should seek to avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest while conducting the business of i3.
  • All Board Members and Officers will disclose annually any potential conflicts of interest.
    • These disclosures will be maintained by the secretary.
  • In matters of disciplinary action, if a Board Member/Officer is an involved party, they must recuse themselves from motions, votes, and discussions involving disciplinary action.
    • When a board member recuses themselves, they abstain from all voting on that issue.
    • In the event a unanimous or supermajority vote is required for passage of an action, such as imposing a ban on a member, a vote will be considered unanimous if all Board Members, minus the abstaining member(s), vote for the resolution.

Meeting Minutes 202601066 January 2026Modify the Standing Rules. After the section named "Access" and before the section named "Probation," add a section named "Usage Hold" with the following:
  1. A member on a Usage Hold temporarily loses one or more specific usage privileges, such as access to defined zones, equipment, storage areas, or permits, but retains all other member privileges.
  2. Grounds for a Usage Hold include, but are not limited to, when a member:
    1. repeatedly misuses or violates the rules of a specific shared affordance
    2. engages in a pattern of failing to remember, understand, or follow operational procedures tied to particular privileges
    3. has not engaged in a pattern of conduct judged by the Board of Directors to require Probation or Banning
  3. A Usage Hold shall be decided by majority vote of the Board of Directors. This does not limit the existing authority of Zone Coordinators to restrict access to their zones, equipment, or resources as part of normal zone governance. A formal Usage Hold would raise it to a board-level action. When placing a member under Usage Hold, the Board of Directors shall specify:
    1. Which privileges are restricted
    2. The duration of the restriction and/or the conditions required for reinstatement (e.g. demonstrating understanding of the related policies, presenting procedures to the Board or a Zone Coordinator, or completion of a defined period of compliance)
    3. Any escalation terms in the event of further violations
  4. Privileges are not automatically restored when the conditions are met or the duration expires, and may only be restored by majority vote of the Board of Directors. If there is failure to comply with the terms of Usage Hold, or further violations during the probationary period, the Board shall vote to confirm that this has occurred. Upon this determination, the remaining time in the Usage Hold automatically converts to a Probation (see section 9, “Probation”).

Meeting Minutes 202508055 August 2025Modify the standing rules safety section to be
  1. Safety is the top responsibility of every member and guest, not just for you but for everyone around you.
  2. It is the responsibility of every member and guest to understand the safe use of any tool or equipment before using it.
  3. When using any equipment or work area, you are responsible for warning those around you of any safety considerations (such as fumes or flying chips).
  4. All pets must be on a leash and under the supervision of their guardian while at i3Detroit.
  5. Members must not engage in or allow unsafe practices by any guest or other member. Examples of unsafe practices include but are not limited to:
    1. Not using appropriate personal protective equipment. i3Detroit provides eye, ear, hand, head, and respiratory protection of many kinds for this reason.
    2. Operating equipment under the influence of alcohol or any intoxicating substance. The use of any substances that can alter or impair mental abilities (including but not limited to medications, drugs, and alcohol) can greatly increase the risk of injury.
    3. Using tools unsafely such as wearing long sleeves while using a lathe

    Meeting Minutes 202107066 July 2021Change Covid Policy to:

    COVID-19 Policy

    1. Masks are required when you will be working within 6 feet of someone else for 15 minutes or more. This applies to both vaccinated & unvaccinated individuals.
    2. Social distancing is not required provided you have consent of anyone you are within 6 feet of.
    3. Anyone who experiences symptoms or has a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 within 14 days of visiting i3 shall notify the president by emailing president@i3detroit.org. The president will keep this information confidential but will use it to notify others who may have been exposed.
    4. Camera reviews will be permitted to be conducted remotely via video chat. All other rules regarding the camera system will remain the same.
    5. The Covid Policy supersedes any other Standing Rule should there be a discrepancy.

    Highlights of Change:

    • Changes mask requirement from "everyone has to wear masks all the time" to only requiring them when people will be in close contact (15 minutes @ 6 feet, the CDC definition for close contact). This option was tied for most liked in the survey, and was the least hated. (The other most-liked option was unvaccinated only, but that was also more hated, both in votes and in write-in comments)
    • Removes health screening requirement before each visit based on 75% support on the survey
    • Removes calendar requirement based on 67% support on the survey.
    • Removes occupancy limit
    • Removes 1 of the 2 forms needed to reinstate your key. You still need to fill out the new waiver if you haven't already done so, but communication on that to the affected people is going to be handled off-list and isn't directly related to Covid.
    • Generally removes any explicit language that used to be legally necessary, and replaces it with the assumption that people will use common sense & be excellent to each other

  • Social distancing is no longer required, provided you have consent of anyone you are within 6 feet of. You should get explicit affirmative consent, rather than assuming anything!
  • Cleaning of surfaces is no longer required, but is left up to zone-specific policies.
  • Masks will still be required, no exceptions for eating and drinking, other than short sips, whether you are vaccinated or not.
