Five days prior to the Day of the Vote, the vote language is locked, all edits are frozen, and the language of the vote is converted to a pdf file. Ballots that include the pdf are sent to the Membership, and electronic voting begins.

Date the Board has assigned for the vote. The Day of the Vote is the day the vote closes.

Attempt 1:

==Background==
On January 28th, 2025, PS:1 ran a member vote, the [[Club Vote]] establishing a "Club" structure, creating a Committee for Club Oversight (CCO) and introducing new roles including Club Hosts and Club Sponsors. Under this structure, certain individuals were granted free memberships tied to their club leadership roles.

In the year following the vote, concerns have been raised that the Club structure as passed is unnecessarily complex and opaque, and that it creates a pathway for directing organizational resources, including free memberships, to specific individuals in ways that lack the transparency expected of PS:1's normal decision-making processes.

This proposal seeks to repeal the Club Vote in full and move to a simpler model for supporting community-building work at PS:1, one that mirrors the Area Host structure already familiar to the membership, and routes support through existing mechanisms like Work in Lieu of Dues (W.I.L.D.) volunteer positions and short-term scholarships where appropriate.

Members who received free memberships under the Club Vote will be granted one month of continued membership while the Board evaluates whether appropriate W.I.L.D. positions exist for them.

== Wait, isn't there another club vote right now? ==
Yes. There is a competing vote titled [[Club Vote 2026]] being run at the moment, which seeks to amend the club vote language and give out some more free memberships. The sponsors of this vote think the original club vote, and this amendment, are both too opaque and convoluted. Our belief is that the membership and the organization is better served by a volunteer structure consistent with the rest of the volunteer structure at PS:1.

==Synopsis==
This vote repeals the Club Vote from January 28th, 2025, rendering all of its provisions null and void. It grants one month of continued membership to any member currently receiving a free membership under the Club Vote, providing continuity while the Board determines whether W.I.L.D. volunteer positions are appropriate for those individuals.

The sponsor's intent, following a successful repeal is to propose, via Board vote, the creation of a Community Building Area that consolidates the functions currently distributed across the CCO, MMT, and PR. This Area would be governed by an appointed Area Host and evaluated by the same standard applied to all other Area Hosts at PS:1. Budget currently allocated to the CCO would transfer to the new Area.

==Language of the Vote==
The membership of Pumping Station: One, NFP votes to repeal the "Club Vote" from January 28th, 2025, render all portions of it null and void, allow the board to transfer any allocated budget to a newly created Community Building Area, and grant those members granted free memberships under the Club Vote one month of continued membership, while the board determines if there are appropriate Work in Lieu of Dues (W.I.L.D.) volunteer positions for them.
