Re: Motion regarding image submission for Iris registrations

[Robert Pries <robertpries@embarqmail.com>]

Clarence; These are good questions you raise for the committee mentioned in the motion to embrace. But they do not seem as important for the voluntary submission suggested in the motion. When we get to a position of some experience with accepting photos, we will have a better idea of the protocol needed for REQUIRING photos.

The committee should be informed by the general procedures and the copyright policies already in place with the Iris Encyclopedia, The slide programs, and the bulletin. These have all been vetted at one time or the other with Bob. But Bob has always provided the disclaimer that he is not a copyright lawyer. Copyright in the digital age has become very blurred and frankly, whether it is print or digital, todays technology allows for all types of abuses. But that is more a reflection of our greater society as opposed to the Iris Society.

Since the motion suggests a rather informal approach to begin with, I think the overseas registrars would be willing to see how it goes, and be a part of the development of procedures as we move toward more rigorous requirementss. 

Garybs motion is exactly what I have been trying to suggest. It starts us gaining experience and actually getting something accomplished while it allows for the evolution of something more substantial. It seems to me much better to begin the process so people can slowly adjust to it, and have input, rather than attempt a perfected mandate from the board that would surely aggravate many if they were suddenly forced to comply.

It is very important that Bob Plank advise on the legal implications of this
motion. What if the photo gets used in a way the hybridizer disapproves? How
do the registrar reps of foreign iris societies handle this? Etc, etc.
