Hi Michelle, 


Yes, I think we do need a motion.  Jim wants it discussed, and for  the 
board to approve funding proposals before they are made.  And the  Foundation 
has not reviewed it yet.  Bob Hollingworth is waiting on an ok  from the AIS 
Board before sending the proposal to the Foundation Board for  consideration 
of funding.  So, I made the motion to get things  moving.

Gary, 


Do we need a motion on this?  I thought John just made a proposal  to the 
Foundation and all that was needed was their approval.

This is a very worthwhile project and I thinkB these scanned  catalogs will 
be
a tremendous resource for AIS and its members.B   Many of the sections
willB benefit as well.B  The pages of these  catalogsB document the first
introductions of many of our registered  irises.B  Anyone interested inB 
iris
history, AIS history, and  historic irises, in particular, will find them
invaluable.B 
B I move  that thisB catalog scanning project, asB described in John's
proposal, is  approved for forwardingB to the AIS Foundation for their
consideration  for funding; and once the project is completed, that the
products of  theseB scans be made available to both the AIS and to the  Iris
Encyclopedia, and that the paper catalogs will then go to the AIS  Library.

John Jones has prepared a Catalog Scanning Proposal to the  AIS FoundationB 
to scan the collection of iris catalogs owned by Mike  and Anne Lowe toB 
create an online accessible library in memory of Mike  Lowe.B  The 
quantityB 
of
pages to be OCR scanned is unknown at  this time but the estimated cost toB 
scan and convert to Adobe PDF is  $0.56 per page for approximately 10,000B 
pages.

Many of you may  know that a similar long range plan for the AIS IrisB 
Encyclopedia  exists to post iris catalogs so this would help in that 
effortB  
as
well as long as a disk is provided to/for that effort.B  The  two shouldB  
be
compatible.B  Gary White, as AIS 1st vice  president, is also on the AISB 
Foundation and in discussion with me felt  that this should be brought to 
theB 
attention of the AIS  board.
