I really think it is important to notify EVERY hybridizer of the importance of submitting images, and not just by News and Notes and IRISES, but personally with a letter. We are the WORLDWIDE registrar of irises and every picture submitted by a hybridizer
should be the default image since they know what their iris looks like. Talking about PSI, etc. makes no sense to me. I usually just point and shoot a picture with my phone. Having additional space on the registration forms (yes, even 2 pages - some of the
spaces are small for the detailed descriptions), so that an image could be attached may be the way to go.

That may be, but we have tried.
We have published these in ‘Irises’ Spring 2020 and reminders in News and Notes. The direction are in detail on our website under HYBRIDIZERS: REGISTRATION: submitting images. Unfortunately the cancellation of our 2020 convention meant that a workshop
on submitting images did not happen.
Is there another vehicle that we could use? Suggestions welcome!

Is there any chance that some hybridizers didn't get the word. If they've registered irises in the past they might not bother to read stuff regarding "how to register an iris" because they have done it before and are unaware that the rules have
changed.

Thank
you Joe and John, reserved names does not appear to be a major part, or even a part, of the problem.
Doug
There are many instances that hybridizers reserve names because they like the name, it may have special meaning to them, and/or are waiting for the right iris to come along.
The number or reserves is so small on a year to year basis as to have no impact.
During the teleconference discussion I heard reserving names brought up. Is that part of the problem, allowing names to be reserved
without pictures can allow hybridizers to, ‘lets say,,, delay’, sending registration pictures but still introduce and market
their Iris. Requiring pictures to be provided “before”
a name is issued may be part of the solution.
I am a hybridizer and I have been regularly submitting images with registration. I am anxious to do it for two reasons beyond the fact it is required.
First as a relatively new hybridizer, i like my descriptions backed up with a picture. This helps me write up the descriptions and have them reviewed. Second, it’s another helpful way to promote my irises to others.
I suspect some of the big boys (I don’t know who is not complying) find it a chore to submit pictures with registration in addition to using their pictures to a catalog and website. Only the registrar knows for sure who is complying
and who is not.
As I go through my Picacho Mountain Iris garden, I take a photo of every iris that blooms there and put it in a file by year. I look at my reselect seedlings for form, bud count, plant, branching and number of rhizomes left after
blooming. I will record height and bloom season as well bud count and put that information on the file name along with the seedling number. If it is an iris that is worthy of introduction, I have all the information I need with the photo, so it is easy to
use that photo with registration.
As I’m a one man show, photos with registration are not a hardship for me.
I look forward to hearing from the other hybridizers to see how we can improve compliance.
My original thought was to invite hybridizers who aren't submitting photos. We might learn why they are not submitting photos. And possibly discover what we might do to make it easier for them.
On further reflection, I would also include hybridizers who are submitting photos. Are they finding advantages to submitting photos? Or do they have tips to make it easier?
Feel free to share the invite with them.
None of the hybridizers in my local affiliate are on AISTalk, and I can think of a lot within my Region who are not. If the intent is to encourage hybridizers to participate
in the Zoom meeting, then perhaps RVPs should urge all their affiliate presidents to spread the word to hybridizers. (Sorry, I missed last night's meeting. Frantically preparing for my affiliates sale on Saturday, which is going to be held.)

I believe that there are are number of hybridizers on this list. It would be dangerous to invite a limited group at the risk of leaving some off.
It does raise the question of how we make sure that official meeting are advertised since they are technically open. Who is and who isn’t on AIS talk?
Are there any hybridizers we should send a separate invitation to? Ones that are not on AIS Talk. Neil might have some names.
At last night's Board meeting, there was a lot of discussion about the requirement to send images of irises with registration forms.
In 2011, the Board passed a motion requiring images to be submitted with registrations. It was revisited and passed again in 2017, with the Image Coordinator to establish criteria
and procedures.
So far , for 2019 registered irises, only 41% have images submitted.
The Board agreed to set up a meeting to discuss this issue.
Please join us. Here is the invitation.
The American Iris Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
