Dear Phyllis and others. I think the record of foreign irises is much better than that of domestic hybridizers. The French especially have done very well at utilizing the wiki to show off their irises. Since around 50% of irises registered are now from abroad it is valuable to have their cooperation. I think some real effort should be made to encourage overseas hybridizers to send photos and I think it should be emphasized with others Iris societies that registration and the wiki are both services to the international community. The wiki has reached out for a long time to irisarians speaking other languages trying to encourage the translation of names and descriptions into the native tongue and English. It is sometimes surprising to learn that the Alliterated Registration name is sometimes the same or very close to an English name that has already been used. Generally the International Registration authorities encourage the cultivar registrars to translate and provide original language as part of the registration.
As far as adding pages to the registration form for pictures is not necessary. If the current registration form were put out as a fillable file you can easily add a link to as many attached pictures as you would like. Creating a fillable form is somewhat frustrating because of how it works but could probably be done with and hours work I would do it as an example when I get a stable internet connection.
If the board decides to send a letter, I would volunteer to print it and mail it to all the addresses sent to me.
