Re: Fw: Contest

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Hi Erik,

I agree that we need the permission of each entrant, and I also agree that
you shouldn't have to do the work.  But Nozomi said that they would handle
contacting people for permission.  The entrants don't have a lot to lose,
because they get to enter the contest without paying an entry fee.

What I wanted to know was how hard it would be for you to just give Nozomi a
list of the e-mail contacts.  Let them do the leg work, and then they could
use just the entries that they got permission for.

But the bottom line is that it has to be something you can do without a huge
amount of work.

I'll also cc my personal reply to the list, but, of course, I can't give him
permission on the contest... That has to be a group decision.  I do think
that as long as he gets the individual permissions, there should be no
problem from a legal standpoint.  My personal feeling is that we should do
it in the spirit of cooperation between aquarists.

good idea, but I need to find out whether we can do this legally, without
first obtaining permission from the entrants.  Also, please remember that
although we are based in the U.S., AGA is an international organization, and
many of our entries are from members in other countries. (I recently did a
poster to promote the AGA and wanted to include flags from our members'
countries.  I was astounded to find that we have members in 37 different
countries!!!) Would you want all of the contest entries, or just those
submitted by people in the U.S.?
