Yes, both Print and WRFU rent space in the Production room. A part of my frustration has been the general lack of ownership by not just careless uninvolved individuals, but also the working groups who rent and have not maintained this space. All IMC members should be collectively caring for the Production room, but renting working groups have a heavier responsibility, because they have to balance the needs of their own working group (for which they pay money) and the needs of the rest of the IMC membership to have a functional production room. Simply dumping objects into the non-Public i portion of the Production Room is not acceptable.<br>
<br>I'm proposing, at least within the next week or so, that Print work with me to figure out what is important to them in the Production room (and where to put it), what can be dumped, and what can be re-allocated (such as books or tech equipment), but this must be a group-wide conversation. While only Dave (and myself) uses the Production room for the most part, it doesn't have to be that way. <br>

Regarding the long email from Kristina about the Production room being used for a dumping ground, Print rents 1/4 of the room and RFU rents about a 4th. We both pay market rates for what we use. As the Print and RFU Americorps person, Kristina is completely within her rights to take anything that's dumped in at least that half and put it out into the main space.<br>

Sometime back, Shows was using the room as an equipment dump. Then they got an entire room for which, as far as I know, they pay nothing. What group is putting this stuff in the room now?<br>
