Among the hundreds of entries, the projects submitted by these eight hackers truly stood out. From holding classes to further educate the public on 3D design and printing, to making advances in practical and medical devices - and always keeping their work free and open – we are confident that our printers will be put to excellent use by these outstanding winners.

...it’s a place where people passionate about science, technology, and digital projects can meet, collaborate and hang out. It can be an open community lab, a machine shop, a work shop, a studio or a combination of these where people can share resources and knowledge to build neat stuff.

FAQ

Emptyset: /* Where should I park my car so it doesn't get towed? */

== What is a Makerspace/Hackerspace? ==

One way to explain a makerspace is to say it is a collaborate work environment. However, makerspaces are also extremely varied spaces in terms of organization, mission, culture, scope, and size. There are small workshops where a few good friends get together to drink homebrew beer and hack on custom-designed 3D printers. There are sprawling spaces hundreds-strong, a small village barter economy - with ideas and imagination as currency.

Some say makerspaces will replace libraries. As books (and knowledge) ever march digital, what function and role does a library play in society? The library, as the institution we know today, is sure to vanish. The Makerspace is the sole heir to its the social responsibility and function, to the ongoing development of skills, and as a curator and index of knowledge.

It's a place for tinkerers and hobbyists to talk shop and compare notes. It's an unbounded blank canvas for creation, where ideas can be put to the test, things set on fire, and the stuff of legends cast in the forge of blood, sweat, and tears. Or just tablespace to work on your soldering skills. It's really up to you, as a participant, to create and define what the space ultimately becomes.

Will it be a mere reflection of yourself? A composite, stained-glass mural of its member ids and egos? Or does it emerge into its own strange and magnificent creature?

[[The_Hackerspace_Manifesto| The Hackerspace Manifesto]] embodies Freeside values.

These sites give a great introduction to makerspaces and the growing maker movement:

Makerspace members both create and contribute to community projects. Project may involve as few as a couple of participants at a local makerspace, to many thousands of contributors across the internet. Some examples of projects that inspire makerspaces include:

== How do I get to Freeside? ==

675 Metropolitan Parkway 
Suite 6066 
Atlanta, GA 30310

We've put together detailed [[Detailed_Directions| directions]], as well as video.

== What is the gate code? ==

Use our handy email autoresponder: [mailto:no-reply@freesideatlanta.org?Subject=gatecode no-reply@freesideatlanta.org?Subject=gatecode]

== Where should I park my car so it doesn't get towed? ==

Park in the green areas shown below (with instructions by clicking on each area). You may park in the yellow area near our front entrance, '''as long as you are not blocking any garage doors''' and respect an individual unit's "No Parking" signs. Do not park in the red areas, or your vehicle will be at risk of getting towed.

== Can I show up to visit the space at any time to check it out? ==

Likely not, especially if you were not expected, and/or nobody knows who you are. Freeside is a pretty chill environment, but a lot of members come to work on projects with minimal interruptions. Some members might be uncomfortable to allow strangers into Freeside, or are unable or unwilling to bear the responsibility of hosting a guest.

Instead, join our [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/freesideatlanta public mailing list] and ask ahead to make arrangements to visit.

== What are your hours? ==

Right now, we don't keep regular hours, but somebody is usually around during the day. Join our [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/freesideatlanta public mailing list] and ask ahead to make arrangements to visit - our members are more than willing to show off the space and its projects!

Freeside is open 24/7 to members.

== What is the best time to stop by and see it for myself? ==

We have a weekly open house, traditionally on Tuesday night around 7p or thereabouts. At our open house, you're welcome to just browse around and see what members are working on. You're free to ask to join the fun! The open house has more of a social feel, but feel free to break away if you find something interesting to work on.

If enough people gather in a cluster, the cluster may be led around.

Saturdays are also a good bet - it's an unofficial work day for our [[Officers| officers]] to improve Freeside and its infrastructure.

We also have events and classes (just about) all the time. Check out and join our [http://www.meetup.com/Freeside-Atlanta Meetup group] for the schedule and to RSVP.

== How can I get more involved? ==

Freeside is a member-supported Nonprofit organization. We're always looking for active new members, donors, and supporters. There are a ton of ways to get started. One way is to bring us something from our [[Wishlist]]! Probably the best way is to introduce yourself at the Tuesday Open House listed above.

The only thing that is required for membership is enthusiasm. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the space and all of the projects going on your first time there, but one of our goals is education and we'll teach you whatever you'd like to know. Don't wait for a class on it either - find a subject matter expert (SME) in the area that your interested in and they'll help you get started.

If we don't have a class/event/project/area that you'd like to see, just rally people to get it. If you can keep people excited about something, they'll help you build whatever you're looking for. The more that our members do this, the stronger Freeside becomes and the more resources you'll have at your disposal.

== How much are dues? ==

Our current regular membership rate is $80/mo, which comes with a bunch of [[Benefits| benefits]]. A discount membership rate is $40/mo, and is available to those who qualify (including students) through the [[Policy_StarvingHackerProgram| Starving Hacker Program]].

Other discounts are available, just ask our [mailto:treasurer@freesideatlanta.org Treasurer].

== Are my donations tax-deductible? ==

You may elect to have a receipt issued for your donation, to claim as tax-deductible. See the [[Donations| donations]] page for more information about what we accept and how we assess value.

Our [[Wishlist]] is a good place to see what we need!

== Is Freeside an independent 501(c)3 charity organization? ==

Freeside is a Georgia non-profit organization. As of 2013-APR-04, we are pending approval as an independent 501(c)3 charity organization. Contact the [[Officers| Treasurer]] for more information.

== How do I get less email from the mailing lists? ==

We use Google Groups to manage our mailing lists, so you can go to the [http://groups.google.com Google Groups page] and manage your email settings there, for the groups you are a part of. If you select the '''Abridged''' option then you'll get a daily email. The '''Digest''' option sends you an email every 25 emails to the list.

== Why 'Freeside'? ==

{{quote|
Home.
Home was BAMA, the Sprawl, the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis.
Program a map to display frequency of data exchange, every thousand megabytes a single pixel on a very large screen. Manhattan and Atlanta burn solid white. Then they start to pulse, the rate of traffic threatening to overload your simulation. Your map is about to go nova. Cool it down. Up your scale. Each pixel a million megabytes. At a hundred million megabytes per second, you begin to make out certain blocks in midtown Manhattan, outlines of hundred-year-old industrial parks ringing the old core of Atlanta...

Activities and Culture

2013-06-08T14:43:08Z

Emptyset: /* Points of Contact */

=== The Big Idea ===
Freeside is a Nonprofit Organization with a mission of developing innovation and creativity in Atlanta. Because we're a Nonprofit, all of the work in the space is done by volunteers.

We have a lot of people that want to help out at the space, and we also get a lot of requests for changes/enhancements to the space as well as for Classes, Events, Projects, and collaboration with other organizations. In order to organize these efforts, we decided to create teams to divide up the work into specialized areas.

We created 3 main teams to tackle important projects in the space and assigned two Directors to be responsible for each and serve as the major points of contact.

=== The Activities and Culture (AC) team ===

This team is dedicated to organizing events in the space, especially classes and projects. This team also organizes the Teacher's Lounge, where teachers and project managers at Freeside can gather to exchange ideas, collaborate, and help to increase the quantity and quality of classes at Freeside.

=== Points of Contact ===

This team is headed up by [[User:Steamboat| Steamboat]], Freeside's President, and [[User:Thrillgore| Thrillgore]], Freeside's Secretary.

If you're interested in getting involved or just picking our brains, email us at [mailto:ac@freesideatlanta.org ac@freesideatlanta.org].

=== Major projects ===

*Organizing classes, projects, and build-outs
*Building out the Media Lab, Bio Lab, Auditorium, and Craft Room
*Organizing the Teacher's lounge

== Reserves ==
Reserves stand at '''2.40mo''' of operating expenses. They fell slightly due to the large expenditures associated with the electronics lab. We’re still trying to target a full 3mo reserves in the actual reserves account.

== Income ==
Income of $2580 came in at '''$100 over budget'''. Some income is below expectation since 15% of members do not pay dues on a regular basis. To a lesser degree, because of cash basis accounting, future income does not reflect the dues of members who have paid annual membership. Given that, income is actually on track and slightly higher than expected. One of the large revenue categories that boosted income was classes, pulling in $890.

== Expenses ==
Operating expenses came in about '''$250 over budget''' at $2440. The NEST already paid for itself in March and April and seems to be regulating the temperate better, and continuing to save us money. One of the large expenses was funding teacher payments at $520 outgoing.

Laser Cutter

2013-05-14T18:56:34Z

Emptyset: /* Zone */

= Zone =
16: [[CNC Lab]]

= Owner(s) =
* Freeside

== Permissions ==
For general use by members after they have completed an appropriate training course. Treat this equipment as if it were your own cleaning items off of the top of the machine and around its table after usage.

== Restrictions ==
The laser cutter is a CNC(Computer Numeric Control) machine capable of the following:
* Cutting
* paper
* cardboard
* plastics up to 1/2" depending on type
* craft foam
* plywood of certain thicknesses depending on number of layers as well as what type of bonding glue was used
* other stuff I haven't yet tried
* Engraving (raster and vector)
* cardboard
* plastic
* wood
* glass
* dark stone
== Caution ==
Contrary to popular belief lasers don't melt things. They remove material via a process called sublimation; turning an object from the solid state directly to the gaseous state skipping the liquid stage almost completely.

The laser uses an RF excited CO2 gas laser producing an invisible to the human eye beam at 1090um. Almost everything is opaque to this wavelength and as such if it can sublimate the material it will. This means that if you put *anything* in the path of the laser it'll try to cut it. If it can't cut the material and it doesn't reflect the beam it *WILL* heat it up very very rapidly. The excited gas you can visually see in the tube is kind of the same thing you see in neon signs. 25KV is applied and the gas is excited to the point where it has to release extra electrons and you see this as light. Do not forget that the beam coming out of the tube is completely invisible and completely dangerous.

== Specifications ==
In this picture from left to right you can see:
# 24VDC power supply; large aluminum case
# 12VDC power supply; small aluminum case
# In the back are 3 Keling stepper drivers; black aluminum cases with green wiring terminals
# In front of those are 2 120VAC solid state relays (not wired and currently not present in the enclosure); grey plastic cases
# Breakout board
# Power entry
# Hole for 120VAC duplex outlet

In the second picture you can see the high voltage power supply

The gantry is driven by a single dual-shaft stepper motor. This motor has a driveshaft on either side that goes to a bearing mechanism attached to the Y rails. Nearest this bearing mechanism there is a timing belt pulley on the shaft. The belt rides on this pulley and connects to the gantry's carriage to pull it back and forth. All motion in the laser cutter is established via pulling as you can't push a belt.

The lens carriage is driven by a stepper motor with a timing belt attached to the carriage.

The wiring exists for a Z(table) stepper but it's not currently installed. The large timing gear can be turned by hand to adjust the table up/down.

The laser cutter is supported by several pieces of equipment outside of its own enclosure:

# The coolant tank stores an amount of water/antifreeze mixture as well as houses the 24V bilge pump to circulate the coolant. Because of the amount of coolant available the temperature increase is not noticeable.
# The air assist pump pumps air into the nozzle attached to the focusing lens on the laser carriage. It's purpose is twofold: keep smoke/debris from out of the line of the laser's beam and off of the optics themselves, and assist the sublimation process by expelling the gasses created
# The fume extractor draws air in from the front of the laser cutter enclosure, across the cutting surface, and out through the back of the enclosure. (Actual equipment subject to change)

23: [[CNC Lab]]

= Owner(s) =
* Freeside

== Permissions ==
For general use by members after they have completed an appropriate training course. Treat this equipment as if it were your own cleaning items off of the top of the machine and around its table after usage.

== Restrictions ==
The laser cutter is a CNC(Computer Numeric Control) machine capable of the following:
* Cutting
* paper
* cardboard
* plastics up to 1/2" depending on type
* craft foam
* plywood of certain thicknesses depending on number of layers as well as what type of bonding glue was used
* other stuff I haven't yet tried
* Engraving (raster and vector)
* cardboard
* plastic
* wood
* glass
* dark stone
== Caution ==
Contrary to popular belief lasers don't melt things. They remove material via a process called sublimation; turning an object from the solid state directly to the gaseous state skipping the liquid stage almost completely.

The laser uses an RF excited CO2 gas laser producing an invisible to the human eye beam at 1090um. Almost everything is opaque to this wavelength and as such if it can sublimate the material it will. This means that if you put *anything* in the path of the laser it'll try to cut it. If it can't cut the material and it doesn't reflect the beam it *WILL* heat it up very very rapidly. The excited gas you can visually see in the tube is kind of the same thing you see in neon signs. 25KV is applied and the gas is excited to the point where it has to release extra electrons and you see this as light. Do not forget that the beam coming out of the tube is completely invisible and completely dangerous.

== Specifications ==
In this picture from left to right you can see:
# 24VDC power supply; large aluminum case
# 12VDC power supply; small aluminum case
# In the back are 3 Keling stepper drivers; black aluminum cases with green wiring terminals
# In front of those are 2 120VAC solid state relays (not wired and currently not present in the enclosure); grey plastic cases
# Breakout board
# Power entry
# Hole for 120VAC duplex outlet
[[File:laserStuff1.jpg]]

In the second picture you can see the high voltage power supply
[[File:laserStuff2.jpg]]

The gantry is driven by a single dual-shaft stepper motor. This motor has a driveshaft on either side that goes to a bearing mechanism attached to the Y rails. Nearest this bearing mechanism there is a timing belt pulley on the shaft. The belt rides on this pulley and connects to the gantry's carriage to pull it back and forth. All motion in the laser cutter is established via pulling as you can't push a belt.

The lens carriage is driven by a stepper motor with a timing belt attached to the carriage.

The wiring exists for a Z(table) stepper but it's not currently installed. The large timing gear can be turned by hand to adjust the table up/down.

The laser cutter is supported by several pieces of equipment outside of its own enclosure:

'''Approved: 2013-MAY-08'''

Freeside Technology Spaces (Freeside) is dedicated to providing a harassment-free hackerspace experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of members, guests, or visitors in any form. Sexual language and sexually explicit imagery is not appropriate for any Freeside space, including Freeside-related events. Members, guests, and visitors violating these rules may be expelled from the space or event at the discretion of the Officers and Directors.

Harassment covers a wide range of behaviours of an offensive nature. It is commonly understood as behaviour intended to disturb or upset, and it is characteristically repetitive. In the legal sense, it is intentional behaviour which is found threatening or disturbing. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexually explicit images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Members, guests, and visitors asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a member engages in harassing behavior, Freeside Officers and Directors may take any action they deem appropriate, including but not limited to: censure, expulsion from the space, and/or termination of membership.

In an emergency, please call 911. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an Officer or Director immediately. You can reach us at either:

* Officers email: [mailto:officers@freesideatlanta.org| officers@freesideatlanta.org]
* Directors email: [mailto:bod@freesideatlanta.org| bod@freesideatlanta.org]

Freeside will be happy to help participants contact local law enforcement, provide escorts, call taxis, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe at our space and events. We value our visitors and members.

* In an emergency, please call 911. We are in the City of Atlanta jurisdiction.
* Dekalb Rape Crisis Center, 204 Church Street, Decatur, GA 30030, Crisis Hotline: 404-377-1428

We expect members, guests, and visitors to follow these rules at all Freeside event venues and Freeside-related social events.

This anti-harassment policy is based on the [http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy example policy] from the Geek Feminism wiki, created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers.

FAQ

Emptyset:

== What is a Makerspace/Hackerspace? ==

One way to explain a makerspace is to say it is a collaborate work environment. However, makerspaces are also extremely varied spaces in terms of organization, mission, culture, scope, and size. There are small workshops where a few good friends get together to drink homebrew beer and hack on custom-designed 3D printers. There are sprawling spaces hundreds-strong, a small village barter economy - with ideas and imagination as currency.

Some say makerspaces will replace libraries. As books (and knowledge) ever march digital, what function and role does a library play in society? The library, as the institution we know today, is sure to vanish. The Makerspace is the sole heir to its the social responsibility and function, to the ongoing development of skills, and as a curator and index of knowledge.

It's a place for tinkerers and hobbyists to talk shop and compare notes. It's an unbounded blank canvas for creation, where ideas can be put to the test, things set on fire, and the stuff of legends cast in the forge of blood, sweat, and tears. Or just tablespace to work on your soldering skills. It's really up to you, as a participant, to create and define what the space ultimately becomes.

Will it be a mere reflection of yourself? A composite, stained-glass mural of its member ids and egos? Or does it emerge into its own strange and magnificent creature?

[[The_Hackerspace_Manifesto| The Hackerspace Manifesto]] embodies Freeside values.

These sites give a great introduction to makerspaces and the growing maker movement:

== How do I get to Freeside? ==

675 Metropolitan Parkway 
Suite 6066 
Atlanta, GA 30310

We've put together detailed [[Detailed_Directions| directions]], as well as video.

== What is the gate code? ==

Use our handy email autoresponder: [mailto:no-reply@freesideatlanta.org?Subject=gatecode no-reply@freesideatlanta.org?Subject=gatecode]

== Where should I park my car so it doesn't get towed? ==

Park in the green areas shown below (with instructions by clicking on each area). You may park in the yellow area near our front entrance, as long as you are not blocking any garage doors and respect an individual unit's "No Parking" signs. Do not park in the red areas, or your vehicle will be at risk of getting towed.

== Can I show up to visit the space at any time to check it out? ==

Likely not, especially if you were not expected, and/or nobody knows who you are. Freeside is a pretty chill environment, but a lot of members come to work on projects with minimal interruptions. Some members might be uncomfortable to allow strangers into Freeside, or are unable or unwilling to bear the responsibility of hosting a guest.

Instead, join our [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/freesideatlanta public mailing list] and ask ahead to make arrangements to visit.

== What are your hours? ==

Right now, we don't keep regular hours, but somebody is usually around during the day. Join our [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/freesideatlanta public mailing list] and ask ahead to make arrangements to visit - our members are more than willing to show off the space and its projects!

Freeside is open 24/7 to members.

== What is the best time to stop by and see it for myself? ==

We have a weekly open house, traditionally on Tuesday night around 7p or thereabouts. At our open house, you're welcome to just browse around and see what members are working on. You're free to ask to join the fun! The open house has more of a social feel, but feel free to break away if you find something interesting to work on.

If enough people gather in a cluster, the cluster may be led around.

Saturdays are also a good bet - it's an unofficial work day for our [[Officers| officers]] to improve Freeside and its infrastructure.

We also have events and classes (just about) all the time. Check out and join our [http://www.meetup.com/Freeside-Atlanta Meetup group] for the schedule and to RSVP.

== How can I get more involved? ==

Freeside is a member-supported Nonprofit organization. We're always looking for active new members, donors, and supporters. There are a ton of ways to get started. One way is to bring us something from our [[Wishlist]]! Probably the best way is to introduce yourself at the Tuesday Open House listed above.

The only thing that is required for membership is enthusiasm. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the space and all of the projects going on your first time there, but one of our goals is education and we'll teach you whatever you'd like to know. Don't wait for a class on it either - find a subject matter expert (SME) in the area that your interested in and they'll help you get started.

If we don't have a class/event/project/area that you'd like to see, just rally people to get it. If you can keep people excited about something, they'll help you build whatever you're looking for. The more that our members do this, the stronger Freeside becomes and the more resources you'll have at your disposal.

== How much are dues? ==

Our current regular membership rate is $80/mo, which comes with a bunch of [[Benefits| benefits]]. A discount membership rate is $40/mo, and is available to those who qualify (including students) through the [[Policy_StarvingHackerProgram| Starving Hacker Program]].

Other discounts are available, just ask our [mailto:treasurer@freesideatlanta.org Treasurer].

== Are my donations tax-deductible? ==

You may elect to have a receipt issued for your donation, to claim as tax-deductible. See the [[Donations| donations]] page for more information about what we accept and how we assess value.

Our [[Wishlist]] is a good place to see what we need!

== Is Freeside an independent 501(c)3 charity organization? ==

Freeside is a Georgia non-profit organization. As of 2013-APR-04, we are pending approval as an independent 501(c)3 charity organization. Contact the [[Officers| Treasurer]] for more information.

== How do I get less email from the mailing lists? ==

We use Google Groups to manage our mailing lists, so you can go to the [http://groups.google.com Google Groups page] and manage your email settings there, for the groups you are a part of. If you select the '''Abridged''' option then you'll get a daily email. The '''Digest''' option sends you an email every 25 emails to the list.

== Why 'Freeside'? ==

Emptyset: Created page with "== ARTICLE I == === PURPOSES === The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect the corporation’s tax-exempt interest when it is contemplating entering into a ..."

== ARTICLE I ==
=== PURPOSES ===
The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect the corporation’s tax-exempt interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the corporation or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. The policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations.

== ARTICLE II ==
=== DEFINITIONS ===
* 2.1 Interested Person
Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person.
* 2.2 Financial Interest
A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family:
** (a) An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the corporation has a transaction or arrangement,
** (b) A compensation arrangement with the corporation or with any entity or individual with which the corporation has a transaction or arrangement, or
** (c) A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the corporation is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.
Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Article III, Section 2, a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the appropriate governing board or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists.

== ARTICLE III ==
=== PROCEDURES ===
* 3.1 Duty to Disclose
In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement
* 3.2 Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists
After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.
* 3.3 Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest
** (a) An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest.
** (b) The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.
** (c) After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the corporation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.
** (d) If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.
* 3.4 Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy
** (a) If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.
** (b) If, after hearing the member’s response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

== ARTICLE IV ==
=== RECORDS OF PROCEEDINGS ===
* 4.1 Minutes
The minutes of the governing board and all committees with board delegated powers shall contain:
** (a) The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the governing board’s or committee’s decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.
** (b) The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings.

== ARTICLE V ==
=== COMPENSATION ===
* 5.1 A voting member of the governing board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member’s compensation.
* 5.2 A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member’s compensation.
* 5.3. No voting member of the governing board or any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the corporation, either individually or collectively, is prohibited from providing information to any committee regarding compensation.

== ARTICLE VI ==
=== ANNUAL STATEMENTS ===
Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person:
* (a) Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy,
* (b) Has read and understands the policy,
* (c) Has agreed to comply with the policy, and
* (d) Understands that the corporation is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.

== ARTICLE VII ==
=== PERIODIC REVIEWS ===
To ensure the corporation operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects:
* (a) Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information and the result of arm’s length bargaining.
* (b) Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management corporations conform to the corporation’s written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction.

== ARTICLE VIII ==
=== USE OF OUTSIDE EXPERTS ===
When conducting the periodic reviews as provided for in Article VII, the corporation may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the governing board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.

He looked up at the picture rail, and there was the hand holding on to a hook with three fingers, and slowly scratching the head of the parrot with the fourth. Eustace ran to the bell and pressed it hard; then across to the window, which he closed with a bang. Frightened by the noise the parrot shook its wings preparatory to flight, and as it did so the fingers of the hand got hold of it by the throat. There was a shrill scream from Peter as he fluttered across the room, wheeling round in circles that ever descended, borne down under the weight that clung to him. The bird dropped at last quite suddenly, and Eustace saw fingers and feathers rolled into an inextricable mass on the floor. The struggle abruptly ceased as finger and thumb squeezed the neck; the bird's eyes rolled up to show the whites, and there was a faint, half-choked gurgle. But before the fingers had time to loose their hold, Eustace had them in his own.
