Re: Motion regarding foreign registrations


John, have you sent out this motion to the international registrars to get their input while we are discussing this within the AIS Board?  Before voting I would like some feedback from them--is this workable for them?  Some may decide they still want to charge their own fee in addition to the $5USD we will give them.  

If hopefully a majority of them approve, then I think this motion/policy is a good compromise to the problem.  We could add information about each Associate Registrar on the AIS website and in future Bulletins as an announcement of this new Policy.  Hopefully e membership will bring in more overseas members and it might increase registering of iris all over the world.    

Our intent here is to continue to register all iris and not to do an end run around the foreign associate registrars.
