[JONAT] Re: Good Discussions...worth pursuing.

Mark...your vision for publicity for the next JONAT sounds good.  Your 
insight into the logical progression of media releases coupled with your excellent 
writing ability gives me reason to believe you would be a prime candidate to be 
such a person.  As a minimum, I would also suggest that a general press 
release from "headquarters" would go out at least "quarterly" as the tour 
progresses.  Part of the reason that I believe publicity is so important is that if you 
want to get sponsors and provide them something of value for their 
sponsorship -- that media publicity and sponsorship listing are both appropriate.

Victor...good point on the copyright issues.  I suspect we have enough IT 
types on the team that they probably already know the rules about internet 
publishing.  I was viewing it as simply scanning an article complete with its 
references to the publisher, date published, author, etc.  You are probably correct 
on the permissions required.  That might be worth pursuing to have a good 
sampling available to website visitors who might like to review the articles in 
order to make a decision to join the tour in 2006.  It might be of interest to 
potential sponsors, as well.  I don't know whether the fact that the JONAT 
website material is copyrighted is problematic for posting other articles?

I'm looking forward to a final report of the finish so I can raise a glass or 
two....and am now heading to the website to see those pictures of a "changed" 
Jay...international traveler, and mighty tired, I'm sure.  Time for a good 
sleep...until the next trip!  Or maybe he'll send his sibling next time? (grin)
