PAPER (and other lovely stuff) from MANUELA/LUMINO:

Manuela only had three sealed rolls of paper in the end, we bought all of these for €20 each, or €60. She also super generously gave us about 8-10 other half-filled rolls and rolls of paper to be used as cleaning strips, etc.

MAARTJE + MARIKEN will install and find a good set-up for the excellent paper dispenser from Manuela and the paper cutter and post some directions for how it all works and the system for cutting the sheets down to 25 x 30 cm.

We decided it was best to keep it simple and to share this amazing gift all together, because it will be too difficult to load and unload the different rolls out of the paper dispenser, switching according to surface preference. MAARTJE + MARIKEN will also let us know which type of paper they've loaded in. So if you want to use what's in there for contact sheets or work prints, go ahead!

DANIELLE also will drive a load of stuff from MAARTJE's to the doka.

MAARTJE + MARIKEN will hang the new metal plates and adjust the viewing lamp if need be.






LEGAL & FINANCIAL
"stichting" / "vereniging" / the pros and cons of being professional vs. a hobby club

ILYA is concerned that he might be viewed as legally/financially responsible for what happens in the DOKA because of his offer to do the administration for all of us and his name on our bank account. We want to alleviate his concerns as soon as possible and have proposed to look into how to form a "stichting" or a "vereniging" (also which one?). JEROEN pointed out that if we officially incorporate as a doka, we might invite inspections from bureaucrats that could shut us down if they find any violations.

1. research "stichting"/ "vereniging" definitions from a legal/insurance point of view . . . MARIKEN
2. and also look into legal/bureacratic implications of running professional / commercial vs. amateur / club / private doka . . . . MARIKEN
3. looking into the financial aspects of above . . . JEROEN

Do we actually have a contract with Urban Resort? MAARTEN, do you know?

QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: Should this be a separate post?







SCHEDULING :

MAARTEN, while you were away, apparently you didn't find anyone to cover your printing week. Please everyone take care for this in the future or all our best planning won't function.


We will switch Dieter's cleaning schedule to every THREE MONTHS, not every TWO as it is now listed in our Google Doc and Google calendar. . . . . . EVA please update this.
