[Imc-outreach] proposed copy policy

[faith swords]

i like it. let's talk about it more at the meeting though. it would be 
nice to figure out a way to allow members to use it who might not be 
particularly affiliated with a working group (and although we would prefer 
members to be involved with at least one group, there are some who are 
unattached, so to speak). but at the moment neither sascha nor myself can 
think of a way to phrase that, or logistically to make it work. hopefully 
we can figure something out later.

i envision the copier being a resource for the IMC as a whole (the 
membership, the groups, etc) much like the library or the production room.

anyway, see you tonight.

In other words, if you are making more than 25 copies (that’s using 25 sheets of paper, not making 25 copies of a 10 page document) you must supply your own paper.

I do not think that we currently have the organization to function like a copy shop, (not to mention our neighbor is a copy shop). I also think that this is a place to start. I think the policy can be amended and/or changed when we have a better sense of its operating costs.
