?, ? minutes.

Constitution d'un groupe de travail pour aider Masoud à compléter le dossier plus vite. Join the dedicated slack chan to contribute: wg-exoneration-fisc

Point 7: Should we join some interesting organizations?

Shalf, 2 minutes.

Proposal for decision and/or help needed

1. Should we join coworking.ch, at least as observators?

Their GA is March 21, Shalf will be there already for other business (he's been a member for years re: his coworking activities), should he formally register to represent Hackuarium at that occasion?
Membership options & rights

2. Should we be listed on included.co?

Shared buying power. They do a lot of good stuff for shared/hybrid spaces communities around the world, and the founder is a trusted friend. For instance, they sponsored this awesome academic project: Coworking Library. It is free for us (their terms, see clause 9 in particular for biz model -- their privacy policy). There is currently e.g. a Revolut for Business offer that could give us a pre-paid biz credit card for free for 6 months, no strings attached.

Point 8: Other Business

• Mural project
• Stagiaires

Things that will be taken care of before/after the meeting

Aka the things we do not need to waste time talking about if it has been (self-)assigned to someone, documented here, and a deadline set up and shared if needed.

Changes to Bylaws

The revisions to the bylaws voted on during the AG need to be implemented.

• Article 3 of the Statutes: to put our current address, Route de Crochy 20, Ecublens

• Article 5 of the Statutes: to say we will work in good faith with the Space Alliance Cooperative
  

I am taking care of it ASAP and will update then Statuts Association Hackuarium --Shalf (talk) 10:18, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
