type box (with cords for tying it closed), contained
in a cardboard slip case. The prints simply stack up
inside it. An 'official' Baren label for your case may
be downloaded here

the exchange number is visible on the spine.

ESSENTIALS
-
Participation: You
must be an active member of [Baren] in order to participate
in this exchange. The mailing list that makes up [Baren]
is open to everyone to join,
and the membership is thus made up of a mix of 'lurkers'
and active participants in the forum. Signing up for
an Exchange obliges your active participation in [Baren]
discussions... If you remain a 'mystery' name, it leaves
everyone feeling quite uncomfortable.
-
Rejected prints: If your prints
do not conform to the above specifications for Medium,
Image size, Paper size, Paper type, and/or
Delivery deadline then the coordinator should
promptly reject them, notify you by email, and (if you
enclosed sufficient postage) promptly return them. You
may repair and/or replace the prints prior to the delivery
deadline or drop out of the exchange prior to the drop-out
deadline without penalty, otherwise a penalty
may be imposed.
-
Communications: It
is essential that the coordinator be in close and timely
communication with you. You must respond promptly to
e-mails sent from the coordinator and must notify the
coordinator of any change in e-mail address. If you
become 'lost' and do not respond to communications from
the coordinator, you may be dropped from the exchange
without further notice. If this occurs after the Drop-out
deadline, a penalty may imposed.
-
Penalty: The
[Baren] Exchange Manager will promptly notify
you by email if it is determined that you may
be subject to penalty. Any such penalty will
be limited to giving you last place in any
active subsequent exchange sign-up and exchange
participants lists for a period not to exceed
one year.
MAILING
Delivery
information: You must enclose 31 prints*,
a self-addressed mailing label, and
sufficient return postage (in
the coordinator's native currency or postage). If
you do not know the exact amount of return postage,
please send more than you think will be required,
a guideline is $10 for USA to USA delivery, $20
for international delivery.
Please deliver your prints in a package that
can easily be reused for shipping the collated
suite back to you.

way to send the prints is Priority Mail. Flat rate
