At Workantile, we have a license agreement<http://workantile.com/license-agreement/>which:
- spells out in broad terms how members may use the space - clarifies that members are responsible for their own property - we are not insuring it - specifies that Workantile does not provide alcohol to members, but members may share drink among themselves - this gets us and our insurance company off the hook in case something alcohol-related happens (we hope) - spells out membership - spells out how/when Workantile may terminate someone's membership. We have had to do this only once in three years. We don't have rules, we do have expectations<http://workantile.com/member-expectations/>. When you have rules, people get bogged down in minutiae. It is better to invite members to figure out how to make the community even more awesome than it is right now, than it is to dictate what people can and can't do.
