Discussion

Conflict resolution prep:

Ripple and Lumen rehearsed their presentation. Key points:

• Document 10 months of duck activities
• Testimonials from members about accessibility (Quorum, others)
• Offer compromises: reflective markers, moveable pond design
• Emphasize duck guild's positive impact on community

Eddy: "What if he just hates ducks?"

Lumen: "Then we find out Tuesday."

Quorum researched Rutherford. Long history of complaints about various space issues. Pattern of using accessibility as lever for personal preferences.

Ripple: "We present that carefully. Don't want to look like we're attacking him."

Saturday Quiet Sitting:

First session yesterday. 8 attendees. Indoor, quieter, different vibe. Worked well.

Lumen: "Having two options reduces pressure on both."

Will continue.

Gummiente farewell:

Our German visitor returns to Cologne Friday. One month with us.

Quorum: "She's been a good duck."

Small ceremony planned. Gift: tiny SF pin for her base.
