This is a report to the Committee and no action is required.

  • Background Artifactory acted as Auspicor.(Administrator of the Grant on behalf of Propel Youth Arts) Members Stuart and Jean-Michel managed it.
  • Final report received on the project 01/11/2019.
  • All documents associated with Auspicing are in the Committee GDrive - Treasurer - Auspicing - Reinvention Room.

Pros and Cons of Auspicing a Grant for future reference.

  • It is does require some effort for those Artifactory members that agree to monitor it on behalf of the Artifactory.
  • We did receive a fee 3% of the Grant. In the future maybe at least go double.
  • We ended up with a new permanent member as well as received tool usage fees for lasers, welding and membership fees that allowed for those running the project to be umbrella under our insurance.
  • The Artifactory received promotional exposure

Recommendations for the future

  • Those taking on Auspicing of the Future should be aware that it will be time intensive at times.
  • It would be easier to keep their Insurance coverage separate from ours
  • Don't get involved in grants where the Artifactory would have to pay wages. (Not that that was a thing with this)
  • A separate bank account was opened to administer that Grant. Definitely do that again in the future.

As the space evolves we've got more and more tools that have a serious risk of injury if used improperly. The Infrastructure subcommittee will usually have a high % of tool skilled members and can adequately identify the more dangerous tools.

By-law addition: Tool inductions

The Infrastructure Subcommittee may gate dangerous tools behind a tool specific induction at their discretion and appoint trainers.

A list of gated tools and appointed trainers must be made available on the wiki and on or near the tools themselves.
