Re: Re: Registration Images; Putative motion

In stead of REQUIRING photo's...Why don't you start asking for them 
voluntarily and see how it works out.

I personally am against requiring it as it would put a hardship on many of 
our older non digital hybridizers.

But asking them to do it voluntarily certainly is not out of the question. 
That way we could get an idea of the
volume of work it will take to do and work with them and make plans for any 
future ways to make thins better.
Lets not keep putting it off and falling farther behind the rest of the 
world just because there MIGHT be a
problem in the future.

Future problems can be assessed as they come to light.  The board certainly 
has the ability to address anything
that comes up in the future as all have internet access and can respond 
quickly.

Set up a few good ground rules such as only the AIS can use the photo's for 
in house use with credit always
being given to both the hybridize and the photographer.  Any other use to be 
cleared with both the hybridize
and the photographer.

Just don't keep on procrastinating because of some imagined future problem.

You were elected to get things done and not to quibble.

I know that the Lows have done a marvelous job but are now tired and want to 
retire from it.   I can understand this
as it is a very demanding job requiring a lot of time.  So...Elect yourself 
a new Registrar who is willing to do the
work and get on with it.

Sorry for the rant but the bantering back and forth about imagined problems 
is not at all constructive.   And forming
another committee is just stalling and producing nothing.  We need to move 
forward and catch up with what the
other societies are doing so we will also get our slice of the pie and not 
be left out.

All My Best
Will
