Subject: [MassChestnutOrchards] Feedback needed: MA/RI Chapter Data Permissions (Database Project)



ello - the  group of TACF national & chapter people working on the database 
ould like feedback re. this Motion that MA/RI came up with in our January 
eeting.
I know we aren't in a Board meeting so we can't have an ideal discussion of 
his, but they would like feedback so your considered ideas are very welcome.
They would like to know:
(1.)  Who in our chapter would approve use of the MA/RI data;
(2.) Does everyone need permission from the group in (1.)  to publish using this 
ata?
     This could include:
      a.) TACF national staff
      b.) MA/RI board members, chapter members
      c.) Outside (academic/research) persons
      d.) Anyone else you can think of here?
We could also give certain people or groups "standing permission"; I think that 
t the least,  we probably would give MA/RI Board members such permission, 
therwise Charlotte couldn't even make lists from the data for presentation, 
ithout us taking a vote. (we discussed this some)
*************
 Motion: 
 01/1010
************
* We strongly feel that it is important for our data (both summaries and raw) to 
e viewably (read access) open to chapters and TACF members and staff. However 
eople will need permission to use our data to publish.
