RE: Motion regarding foreign registrations

[Susan Boyce <irisgal@hotmail.com>]

  Hi all,
    Now that I am home from work, I can finally sit down and put my thoughts
into words about this.
In my opinion, I would like to find out some more information before I would
vote to send $5.00 to the associate registrars in other countries.
 1.   Does the money the foreign associates receive go into their own pockets,
or does it go into their respective iris societies coiffers.  I would really
hate to see us send an extra $5.00 just to end up in someone's pocket.
2.   What exactly does the foreign associates do?  Do they just forward the
registrations onto us?  Do they translate effectively and/or correctly the
registrations before sending them to us?
   All of these questions should be answered before we should vote on any
changes.
