1. Approval of Minutes

The minutes of the last meeting (June 14, 2006) are approved without opposition.

2. Finances

Angela has taken over the finances, since Myriam Wenger (former treasurer) is no longer a member of the Arts Council. Angela gives an update on the finances and informs the members that a full account of the financial status will be given at the General Assembly.

3. Homepage

Cindy presents the newly created homepage for the Arts Council. Several changes/corrections are proposed and further ideas collected (an e-mail list for those who are interested, feedback options, chronology of projects, music and other recordings linked to the site, list of locations for rehearsals and performances, getting permission from University to use their address: www.instinctiveacts.unibe.ch, etc.). Cindy asks all the members for important information which is to be put on the web, and to inform her about spelling mistakes. The members decide to pay Cindy 500.- for her excellent work. As a member of the Arts Council, Cindy will regularly update the homepage for free.

4. New Logo

The new logo, created by Marcel Röthlisberger, is generally approved of (concerning the positioning and form of the letters). The members decide to ask Marcel for other samples of the logo, so that they can see whether another combination of colours would be preferred. It is decided that Marcel will receive 150.- for his designs.

5. General Assembly

The date for the General Assembly is set for December 18, 2006 at 12.15. Regula will check for availability of rooms and will create posters to inform the students. It is decided that snacks and drinks will be provided outside the room in the corridor (organised by Alexandra and Regula). The suggested Agenda is as follows:

• Approval of Minutes of the last GA
• Introduction of the Arts Council (Simon)
• Annual Report and Presentation of the New Logo (Angela)
• Elections of the New Members
• Presentation of the New Homepage (Cindy)
• Presentation and Approval of the Finances (Angela)
• Information about Forthcoming Projects
• AOB

6. Name for "Instinctive Acts"

Since the last meeting, three new names had been proposed: 'Distinctive Acts', 'Indistinctive Acts' and 'Creative Acts'. However, it is decided that the Arts Council would retain the name 'Instinctive Acts' for future projects, as it has gained a certain reputation over the past few years and seems to be recognised by people. In addition, the members agree that students do not really care about a change, since so few of them have proposed a new name.

Matt will ask Tobias Stöckli to design a simple lettering of the name 'Instinctive Acts' which can be put on the homepage and on all the posters for the performances.

7. Project Proposals

• Lukas Hunziker organises another 'One-Act-Play Evening'. The Arts Council will pay 1500.- for deficit cover.
• Film Club: The Arts Council decides to make the payment of 150.- per semester (to support the Film Club) permanent. The money will be paid automatically at the beginning of every semester.
• Reading by Roald Hoffmann: The Arts Council will sponsor and publicise the two events (a reading and a talk) by Roald Hoffmann on the 22-26 January 2007. The amount of 300.- will be paid to the organisers of these events.

8. Approval of Revised Statutes of the Arts Council

The revised statutes of 2004 are finally approved by the Arts Council. In this context, two new auditors are needed (since Ruth Kämpf will be leaving the department and Regula Renggli has graduated). Angela will ask for volunteers at the next General Assembly.

9. List of Responsibilities

Angela and Cindy have put together a list of responsibilities for the members of the Arts Council. Several corrections are made and the list is approved. It should make clear to the members what their function is and what tasks they need to perform. Alexandra De Peyer volunteers for the empty post of 'inventory manager' and plans to reorganise the costume/scenery room downstairs in the Unitobler.

10. AOB

Since many members will be leaving either in spring or summer, members will have to think about replacements in the near future. Matt Kimmich proposes Christiane Schlote as his successor, since he feels that she is very much interested in art projects. The Arts Council agrees that this is a good idea. No further candidates are yet suggested, but the members will keep this point in mind.

The next meeting is the General Assembly on December 18, 2006 at 12:15 - location is to be announced.
