2. Manages general communications on the Clip Kino publicity, including sharing login details (website archive), or admin/posting rights (e.g. facebook) where appropriate.
3. Takes responsibility to help the Clip Kino guest-curator gain some awareness and acknowledgment of terms of use of common video-sharing platforms, and how the Clip Kino guest-curator may be entering a 'grey legal zone'.

Clip Kino guest-curator/group
1. Arranges at least 1 event of 40-60 mins of video-clip content sourced from the Internet, based on a theme or subject of their choice.
2. Gives a text description and image to illustrate the event, 1 week in advance of the event, to be used in publicity.
3. Agrees that if the video-clips are used which are not already online, the Clip Kino guest-curator will put the materials online before the event takes place.
4. Agrees not to show illegal materials, racist, hardcore pornography, or that which depicts violatons of human or animal rights.
5. Gives respect to the audience who turns up to watch what they have chosen, without knowing exactly what they are going to watch.
6. Agrees to give an advance warning if materials are unsuitable for under 13 age, or if they may shock or disgust audience members.
7. Agrees to share the clip screening list on the day of the screening event. This list will have as minimum information the title of each video-clip (which is same as that titled online) and its link to it's location online. Further information which is helpful includes the time-length of each clip, when and by whom uploaded the clip, and any notes the guest-curator/group wishes to give.
8. Considers contacting the authors of clips in advance (via an in-build messaging service of the platform) to seek permission/give notice that the clip is going to be shown at a public event. However, In Clip Kino we interpret that when someone has uploaded video online they understand it to be public in the common-sense of the term.
Note that screening in public most likely breaches terms-of-use for most online video-sharing platforms. For example, YouTube §5 B: “You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content.” http://www.youtube.com/t/terms

3. Is attending on the basis of trust, interest, enthusiasm, friendship, good will, open-mindedness, curiosity, and many other unknowns.
