RE: Motion granting President authority to approve reprinted articles from IRISES

["Terry Aitken" <a51a49271@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

Hi All 
I hate to butt in but I think I was involved indirectly with the "permission thing" in the Bulletin (IRISES).
During the five years I was editor I don’t remember this issue coming up. (I am getting "old". Ha!)
Just like a bank account, I think there should be at least two signatures authorized in case one party is unavailable.
Perhaps even the Advertising Editor could serve as an additional  signature? This is not a big deal.

I have been approached directly for reprint permission for articles I wrote in which case I was able to attach a file and save someone a lot of work.
People like the BIS, NZIS or the Australians are good candidates.
For that matter, I see no reason for us not to borrow relevant information from those publications.

I may write an article on the trials and tribulations of being editor. Ha!
Terry Aitken

There is an intellectual property committee.  It deals with requests from outside AIS.  There is no need for internal AIS committees to go through the IP committee.  That material remains AIS intellectual property.

I believe that AIS committees, particularly the PR committee, which includes publications responsibility, can reprint articles from the bulletin without further permission.


If Sections and affiliates can reprint without permission, why not the PR committee?  or any other duly-established AIS committee?

If such printing exceeds the committee's budget, then that expenditure would need Board action, but that is a separate issue.

I also believe that the current statement in the bulletin should refer the decision for external reprints to the IP committee.

To my knowledge that committee has never been dissolved. The original Chair was Jody Nolin and I believe the current chair os Bob Holingworth.
