<html><body><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">Hello Omar,</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">My name is Matt Winslade. I'm one of the OCM's for UCC, the University Computer Club, for 2019-2020. I'm looking to speak to tenancy about the card reader locks for Cameron Hall. At current, the doors to Cameron Hall lock after hours, at 6pm and over weekends, and can be unlocked with a student or staff card. I'm not a student. I graduated in 2016. By restricting access during these times, the card-reader locks are inhibiting access to clubs for non-student members, like myself. Because I work full time, the only time I am available to volunteer towards my role on committee is during hours that I am now not able access the building.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">I am non-student member of three clubs within Cameron Hall. These would be UCC, UniSFA and Unigames. I'm a former committee member for Unigames and UniSFA. I am currently trusted to hold the Unigames club-room as a Gatekeeper. This is a responsibility I hold or have held for all three of these of clubs. As part of this, I have been helping run events since I graduated. I attend busy bees to help maintain the clubroom. I assist with Food Runs. I also attend events when I am able. Cameron Hall clubs represent a large portion of my time at university and I want to continue to volunteer towards these clubs. With the card readers in place, I need to be let into the building to do these things, which is more than an inconvenience to myself and others.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">UCC has a large number of former students who continue to volunteer time and resources to maintain the club, the room, and the club's infrastructure. These members regularly meet on Mondays after hours, to do project work that benefits the club. This includes maintenance on some of the clubs equipment and servers. If there is a system issue or a problem with the club's servers, we also need non-student members to be able to have access and fix whatever problem there might be as promptly as possible. This is part of the reason we have 24 hour access for the club.<br></p><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;" dir="auto"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">Nearly all of our events are run after hours, typically after 5PM and or over the weekend. At</span> current, our regular committee meetings are after hours, at 7pm. This week, I was unable to attend the meeting because I did not have my phone and I had no way to contact anyone to let me in. This one is my fault, but would not have been issue without the locks. I can understand why the locks were put in place, and I do not expect to have the locks removed. The purpose of this email is to ask how best to work within this system.</div><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">If I am to access Cameron Hall after hours, what process do I follow?<br></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">With their committee's approval, I've CC'd UniSFA and Unigames into this email. I can't speak for them but would like to keep them in the loop, as I know they also have non student members.<br></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">I look forward to hearing back from you about this.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">Matt Winslade</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: start">UCC Committee, OCM 2019-2020</p></body></html>
