Consensed at 2014-10-06 Meeting
The USTU community agrees to extend access to the hidden pages on the wiki and the closed sessions of meetings to the current USTU managers, with the exception of decisions in closed session that may involve a conflict of interest and the community agrees to hold a closed session without the USTU managers present.
The USTU managers have not been approved for USTU membership in part to create a healthy check and balance for the community. The USTU managers do however serve a unique and important role in the community and their participation in closed sessions is encouraged subject to some parameters. They are invited to raise observations, input and advise as it pertains to community discussions. The USTU managers are not formal participants in the consensus decision-making process and therefore would not have the ability to block a community decision. In the event that the managers raise a concern about a particular decision moving forward, the community is not required to address the concern through the consensus process before moving forward.
