[adding silkscreen chair since this also affects them]
I'm going to suggest the following. I'm not active, so definitely feel
free to disregard entirely. (The use of the word "should" below is a
suggestion and not an imperative :)
--
An active should volunteer to bring this up at the next regularly
scheduled chapter meeting. The chapter should adopt one of the following
as a standing policy:
(1) AX offers fee-based services to any individual or group in the MIT
community, and to any non-MIT individual or group that would like to have
a job done for service purposes. Exceptions must be approved by the
appropriate chair, the President, and the Treasurer.
(2) AX offers fee-based services to groups with 501(c)3 status.
Authorized operators may do personal jobs with their own materials, for
which they do not expect payment. Exceptions must be approved by the
appropriate chair, the President, and the Treasurer.
(3) AX offers fee-based services to groups with 501(c)3 status. MIT
community individuals and groups, and non-MIT individuals and groups that
would like to have a job printed for service purposes, may request a job
provided appropriate, SAFO-approved paperwork is filed. Exceptions must be
approved by the appropriate chair, the President, and the Treasurer.

We've all heard the pros and cons for each of those policy suggestions.
I strongly suggest that aside from new suggestions, discussion and
argument be brought to the next regularly scheduled chapter meeting rather
than an email list.
