Nomenus Decisions Made: Chronological

(This section is pretty solid, as far as it goes back. Note that decisions are summarized; for precise wording, see the meeting’s decisions-list or minutes. Some supplemental materials for Great Circles are available here.
In places, we refer to Arcana’s compilation; he’s a former President who began a decisions list Jan ’11, last revised Sept ’14; it’s not an official source, but is likely to be accurate.)

Great Circle wants to reaffirm that Nomenus members are only removed if there is strong consensus that all efforts at problem-solving have been unsuccessful. We continue to encourage dissent and incorporate people who are difficult or unpopular, because we want to reflect the larger faerie community.

Thus far, they include a several-month period for reflection, with the final step only taking place at a Great Circle.

(Looking for minutes.)
(From Arcana’s compilation:)
Adopt SHS’s caretaker model proposal for 6 months with detailed review handled by COCO with anticipation the model will be ratified at the Jan. GC. (No such follow-up seems to have happened.)
Visitor Policy adopted: [This seems to have been already the policy in place; unclear when it was established.]
You are welcome at gatherings, and can request sanctuary visits at off-gathering times. Our policy for visits is 14 days. After that, consensus of the Community is required. During your Sanctuary, you can choose to participate at any level. This is your chance to observe how the Sanctuary functions and where you would be ready to plug into community.
If you choose to attend a Gathering, that time is to be considered inclusive of your two week limit. Should this boundary be honored, consistently, you are welcome to request a longer visit, at another time.
This is a camping scenario. Please bring or acquire a tent. Please use it to store and contain your belongings, as well as providing yourself shelter at Wolf Creek Sanctuary. Community spaces are not available for sleeping space.
Altars are Sacrosanct. These objects are communal. Votive offerings are a blessing when placed and can be a curse when removed. A sacred object that someone else has gifted a space should be left unmolested, and you should never use another witch’s tool(s), without express permission.
Be committed to give a minimum of two hours per day labor to the Sanctuary. This means actual land chores, like garbage, or dishes, or laundry, or gardening. Please discover the value of physical work, not just the Spiritual. This is the lowest threshold the community has for “plugging in”, and it’s not up for negotiation. Any day you choose not to participate is the day you leave the Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary requests $10 per day for off gathering visits, $5 goes towards groceries, and $5 for the resources you use.
Respect community member’s stated boundaries and requests. If you have reservations concerning those stated requests or boundaries, please address them to someone in the caretaking community. Please consider developing interpersonal sensitivity, so that you can be aware of traversing personal boundaries.
Should you be willing to engage these aspects, the community is willing to host your visit to the sanctuary.
