Jim - The IPC chair is currently out wandering the Caribbean with only intermittent access to e-mail until next week. However, as a first reaction, the request looks quite legit to me. It is in aid of education about irises, makes due acknowledgement of the source of the material, and is not for profit. Seems we should encourage that - if you want a deeper analysis, I'll pass it around the group next week. Bob

I don't see a problem with her request as long she is citing Roy Epperson in her exhibit and giving AIS credit.

I believe the board should respond to this.

Thank you, Kathleen

Dear Ms. Sonntag,

I would like permission to create an educational exhibit for the Belton Iris Society's 2015 Iris Show that explains color patterns in irises. I would like to use the pictures and descriptions that Mr. E. Roy Epperson used in his work "Color Patterns". If I could have permission to enlage Mr. Epperson's work to a 20" x 30" poster, I believe our iris society members and the general public will have a better understanding of the terminology that many iris lovers use, such as "Amoena" and "Luminata".

I plan to cite Mr. Epperson's work either following the American Psychological Association (APA) or the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) guidelines. Your choice.

APA version:

Epperson, E. Roy (2011). Color Patterns. In The American Iris Society (Ed.), Basic Iris Culture or "What Every Iris Grower Should Know" (3rd ed.) (p. 9). The American Iris Society.

MLA Version:

Epperson, E. Roy. "Color Patterns." Basic Iris Culture or "What Every Iris Grower Should Know". 3rd Ed. N.p.:The American Iris Society, 2011. 9.

Note: Town of publication was not listed.

Under normal circumstances I would ask the author, but as he is deceased and the editors are not specifically listed, I thought it best to request permission from the AIS Editor. If this is incorrect, I will appreciate any guidance that you can provide me that will help me create this poster without infringing on the American Iris Society's copyright.

Thank you for your attention in this manner.
