Andrew’s point about transparency is something I completely agree with. I recently went through the meeting minutes for this year and I found the following extraordinary minute that further makes me wonder if the Safe Spaces and UCoC policy is being weaponised by WMAU members:
“Safe Spaces Policy A community member has raised concerns via email to James (cc’d Belinda) about our Safe Spaces Policy and specifically how our community meeting agenda and zoom link are public, and that anyone can join the meetings. They suggest that all attendees should have to register to attend each meeting, are vetted, and then sent the zoom link. They would like WMAU to maintain a list of “undesirables” who are banned from attending, but has not clearly stated whether they currently feel unsafe.” https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Meeting:Committee_(2023-01-16)#Social_media_report This does seem to highlight that there is a problem with an exclusive clique in the membership! I could be wrong, but is it a policy of any other chapter to maintain lists of “undesirables”? And if so, how does such a list get decided?
