[MassChestnutOrchards] Feedback needed: MA/RI Chapter Data Permissions (D

[JohnViolin7 at aol.com]

my issues with our info are: attribution. (I think this serves everyone)
                                         oversight. (I also think we could 
perform a valuable service to ourselves and others by our being able to 
provide factual input/review at the time the data are studied, adding needed 
balance, perspective, and completeness of data. For instance, it could be 
casually inferred by a "researcher" that we all use Roundup on all of our 
plantings, and that is by no means the case.   Or that all of our plantings have 
the same spacing. Or that environmental conditions do not have have a real 
bearing on how quickly cankers develop. Or that all our data are gathered with 
exactly the same methods.)
                                          notice (The above requires that 
we know when and how our data are being used. I would prefer to condition our 
provision of data on some kind of timely notice about such use to us as a 
chapter, by the researching party.) 
                                            defence/comment  (It would be 
nice if we could be assured of the right to answer any critics in whatever 
forum the researcher publishes.
    I agree with Charlotte that we should take the initiative on 
publishing, and would hope that an article on Agrifos is forthcoming in the journal
