As for the design, last time I talked to Justice Gruber I understood that he would volunteer to come up with a design for either back and front side of the ID card (the latter only, if we want to rearrange the design that was proposed a while ago. Btw., the design can be established by an XO in no time). A quick decision might be required for the size of the card (credit card or A7 - German / European (?) ID card? An A-something format may be handy if we want to laminate the cards).
For laminating the cards we should provide the SoS with a laminator and lamination foils. I saw that A4-size laminators cost something between roughly 15 to 30 EUR. Foils are cheap, but the smallest format I found online was A6 (which is, e.g., European picture postcard size); but certainly there will also be smaller sizes like A7 or A8 for e.g. business cards.
(for those who don't know this A something industrial standard: A4 is the standard letter format in many if not most countries. When doubling the format, the counter goes down, so twice A4 is called A3. Folding A4 in the middle gives you A5, the half of A5 is A6 and so on)
