Max & other ARLIS members --
Yes, there is an ARLIS/NA CONFU rep. Gregory P.J. Most has been ARLIS/NA's
CONFU representative since late May when he began attending the CONFU Digital
Images workgroup sessions in Wash., DC.
In early July the Public Policy Committee put out a CONFU alert (see message
below) to update the membership and to solicit input. However, we received
few responses either to the committee or to ARLIS-L. Admittedly summer is a
less than ideal season for issuing urgent messages and expecting timely
responses. And, as Maryly Snow notes, many visual resources types have been
actively discussing this issue on VRA-L rather than ARLIS-L.
Nonetheless, this is a vital issue with relevance and ramifications beyond
the confines of visual collections. This is a good opportunity to renew our
request for input from ARLIS/NA members on the latest (8/15/96) draft of the
CONFU guidelines for Digital Images. The text is available at the Stanford
University site (http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/imagguid.html)
Thanks for your continued interest and support.
Katherine Poole & Hinda Sklar
Co-Chairs, Public Policy Committee

RE: EDUCATIONAL FAIR USE GUIDELINES FOR DIGITAL IMAGES
-- UREGENT CALL FOR RESPONSE TO LATEST DRAFT by JULY 14!! --
ARLIS/NA has been actively participating in the development of the CONFU
Educational Fair Use Guidelines for Digital Images through the contributions
of CONFU representative, Gregory P.J. Most, National Gallery of Art. The
Public Policy Committee has been grateful for some good input received
thus far from several interested individuals and this has been passed along
to Gregory.
This is the first chance for a general distribution, therefore, we are
posting this draft on ARLIS-L in order to solicit as broad a response as
possible from the ARLIS/NA membership, but particularly visual resources
professionals, within this very tight timeframe. We urge you to review the
guidelines draft below and take this opportunity now to include your voice
on this critical issue.
The working group is meeting again on July 16 so we need your comments by
July 14 at the latest. If you reply to the list we can all see the
responses. We are looking forward to your input.
Thanks,
Katherine Poole & Hinda Sklar
Co-Chairs, ARLIS/NA Public Policy Committee
