There is a specific line: |

* [[Board Policy on Animals]] |

to fulfill any obligations to ensure the health of the organization. |

* [[Board Policy on Alcohol]] |

* [[Board Policy on Events]] |

* The word "obligations" and the phrase "health of the organization" can be interpreted in a lot of ways. |

* There are a lot of ways a policy can be written that fulfill obligations, and the membership should be guaranteed, a hand in that process, as we are with member votes |
|||
* A policy produced by a minority of the membership without feedback from the general membership can not hope to attain the the same rigor in quality standards that a membership vote has. |

Members serving on the board generally ensure insurance obligations are being fulfilled. However, anyone who wants to work on insurance compliance should be able to, and is strongly encouraged to work with other members already working on the issues. |

* If the space has made contractual obligations in the past, those contractual obligations continue to hold, and additional policy is optional. |

Policies may be set by the board of directors via a Board vote, so long as the policy expires 3 weeks after the Board votes on the policies. |
|||
* [[Board Policy on Animals]] |
|||
All policies voted on and passed by the BoD automatically become vote proposals for the membership to vote on to confirm. At least one week must be allowed for the policy to be adjusted. After that week, normal membership voting rules apply. |
|||
* [[Board Policy on Alcohol]] |
|||
* [[Board Policy on Events]] |
|||
If the vote to confirm is held, and quorum is not reached, the temporary policy is automatically extended by a week, and another vote to confirm is held. If quorum is again not reached, the process repeats until a vote to confirm is held and quorum is reached. |

Background
The membership and the board are not two distinct groups.
If a non-board member of the organization wanted to work on insurance compliance, I would be inclined to encourage them.
The following 3 pages could be seen as an obstacle to that.
Members serving on the board generally ensure insurance obligations are being fulfilled. However, anyone who wants to work on insurance compliance should be able to, and is strongly encouraged to work with other members already working on the issues.
The policy structure at PS:One can be convoluted and difficult to follow, so I write a hand-dandy guide available here: Understanding Policy Structure at PS:One
Language
The following 3 policies are member curated policies.
