RE: Registration images - Amended motion

["Janet Smith" <ypauls@sti.net>]

Just to make it perfectly clear! 

AIS Slides and Digital Programs (Iris Resources-Slides) has had a
copyright standard set in place since 2007 when I became Chair.  It
will always be there as long as I am in the position.  It is on every
CD that goes out.  It protects the hybridizer/photographer and AIS.
