[Northkeep] Model Releases

[Marc Carlson]

I have to say, I have already submitted a release form for any of the portraits I have placed on 
my Flickr page.  So anyone who wants to use their picture just needs to download that picture
and sign the model form and send it to Robert.

>  I am writing to ask for some help.  If you are on this list then you should
> be aware that Lady Zubeyduh has been creating pages for individuals on the
> Ansteorra History Wiki.  This is exactly the kind of thing that I had
> envisioned the wiki being used for when I set it up, and I wanted to thank
> her for doing this.  On most of these pages she has included a photograph of
> the person.  I think the pages are better for having the photos.  However
> recent changes in the rules handed down from Corporate require that we have
> Model Releases for any photos on an SCA server except for group photos in a
> public setting.  These Releases would not have been required a few months
> ago, but they are required now.  I'm not very happy about it but I am
> obligated to follow the rules whether I agree with them or not.
> 
> I am asking everyone who has an entry or is wanting to have one to please
> take a few moments to  fill out and email me a Model Release.  We now have
> releases that can be electronically filled out and signed and emailed.  You
> can get the release here:
> 
> http://chronicler.ansteorra.org/ReleaseModelFillable.pdf
> 
> Please download the form and open it in Adobe Reader, then fill it out and
> create a digital signature.  Save the file, (please change the name of the
> file to include your mundane last name, so that I will be able to find it if
> I need to), Then email me and include the release as an attachment.  Please
> send the Email to  historian at chronicler.ansteorra.org
> 
> You can also download and print the waiver from :
> http://www.ansteorra.org/publications/forms/ReleaseModel.pdf  and hand them
> to Zubeyduh and we will work out how to get them to me, however using the
> electronic form will make things easier.
> 
> I want to emphasize  that  Zubeyduh did not do anything wrong here, she was
> using the site in exactly the way that I had intended when it was setup,
> it's just that the rules were changed on us and she hadn't been told.
> 
>  I am not going to start taking photos down right away unless I am
> instructed to do so.  I want to give people a chance to send in the waivers
> first, but soon I will have to start removing photos for which I do not have
> a release.  I really hate to do that,  I don't like to have to undo work
> that people have been kind enough to do.   So if you can please fill out and
> send be a waiver I would greatly appreciate it.

> Thanks
