with a deadline of November 30, 2007 (mark your calendar...). Revamped
all the ILDA Member-Only pages, so they use the same menus and look as
the rest of the website.
Updated the
insurance information
page. Recently one source of insurance (N.A.M.E.) has
dropped their coverage. ILDA members have suggested other agents to

November 2006
Added an historical
treasure: notes from the very first ILDA organizational meeting,
held in August 1986. The notes,
taken by Tim Walsh, make interesting reading -- both to see how far ILDA

Corrected the ILDA

reflect what is in the Bylaws. The incorrect ranges were: US$1,000,000

to match the Bylaws, are now: US$1,000,000 or more; $250,000 to
$1,000,000 and below $250,000.
Added information

Business Practices & Product Quality committee. This group
will be developing guidelines for sales and advertising activities, and
especially for eBay-type sales. In addition, they will develop
guidelines to help improve product quality. One role of the Committee
will be to advise whether the guidelines are only recommendations, or if
they should become required under the ILDA Code of Ethics. Anyone
interested in working on this Committee to help develop the guidelines,
should contact the Executive
Director.
The Board is pleased to
announce the election of Tim Walsh to the Board

computer-generated graphics are permitted in this category. If you have
version 1.0, you do not need to download 1.1 -- just note the Graphics
Show change.
The
ILDA Artistic Awards entry guide and forms are now available.

photos and more details,
click here.
Welcome to a new ILDA Affiliate Member:
Brockbridge Pty. Ltd. is an
Australian company involved in the manufacture and sale of laser
projectors. Michael Roth is Brockbridge's director. Welcome!
A major new ILDA feature
and benefit is now available: the
ILDA Forums. You can read more about the Forums
here, or simply use the menu at left to go directly to the Forums.
Feel free to register. You can also tell your
friends about it, since a number of the forums are open to anyone.
We do ask that ILDA Members register using
their real names, such as "Bob Smith" or "Jurgen Heinz", (instead of
something obscure like "laser24"). After registering, you'll be able to
read and post at the public forums immediately. For the ILDA Member-only
forums, it may take from a few minutes to a day before your account is
given access, since this is a manual process.
Updated the Code of Ethics page. A
new section describes more
clearly how the Code of Ethics helps protect consumers. To make this
easier for potential clients to find, the menu at left has added a
section on "Consumer protection", underneath the "For laser show
clients" heading.
Added
new ILDA Member logos. Some members have been using the
"colored beams" logo which appears on our home page. Unfortunately, this
logo did not include the word "Member" which we require. (ILDA uses the
ILDA logo alone; members must include the word "Member" in or next to
the logo.)
If you use the colored beams logo, please switch to the
new version. Logos are available in the Members-only section, on
this page.
Redrew vector-based ILDA logo. Thanks to ILDA Member Guido
Jaeger of
mylaserpage.de. He kindly volunteered to
have the ILDA logo re-drawn in vector. (The older vector version used an
outdated design.) If you want, you can download and print out a
huge high-res version
perfect for letter-sized or A4 paper. Post it at your office and
lasershows, to show that you are an ILDA Member!
Clarified permission for how Individual members can use the logo.
The
updated policy permits use of the ILDA Member logo if they
are freelancing their own services, as a one-person company. It remains
restricted for any other commercial use (e.g., it is not permitted to
use the ILDA Member logo for a larger company or for selling products).
Welcome to a new ILDA Individual Member:
John Birchman of Orlando has been
active in ILDA for many years. For example, he did the live online feed
of the 2001 ILDA Awards. This year, he set up and is administering the

Updated
copyright
information at the bottom of most
pages, to make it clearer about how to get
permission to reprint text and/or photos
from the ILDA website. This was done in response to a website which used
large quantities of ILDA text without permission and attribution.
Added logos to ILDA Corporate and Affiliate listings, for
members at the higher dues levels. Also did subtle but extensive
formatting changes, to avoid problems with inconsistent link appearance.
September 2006

Revised various pages to
clarify ILDA's policy prohibiting commercial use of Individual and

about the ILDA and Laserist mailing lists. ILDA runs two main
mailing lists, one for members (ILDA List) and one for non-members
(Laserist List). The new Mailing lists at
ILDA page discusses the purpose of the lists, how to get on (and
off) of the lists, how to reply, getting help, etc. The lists --
especially the ILDA List -- are a benefit of membership.
New "ILDA Inquiries
and Referral Service". Actually, the service itself isn't new
-- we have always passed along inquiries to our members. But now this
service is much more visible. By adding two new links on the main menu,
we are encouraging more inquiries and referrals from potential
customers.
The new "Inquiries and
Referral" webpage explains how visitors can ask ILDA for
lasershow-related information. Simple questions are answered by the
Executive Director; other questions and referral requests are passed
along to ILDA Members via the ILDA List e-mail service.
Of course, passing inquiries to members -- and only
members! -- in this way is an
added benefit of being an ILDA Member.
The ILDA Technical
Committee is helping review proposed Chinese regulations for
laser products. The regulations include ILDA standards, and are being
drafted by ILDA Member Jim Hardaway.

There are now two open seats on the Board. On April 30, Craig
Nelson resigned from the Board, since his business has moved away from
the laser show industry. The Board is now looking
for two candidates to fill these empty seats.
This is a way for members to help improve

the existing Board, who will then select
a new member
to serve until the next formal election. (The temporary members can then
run for election if they wish.)

businesses. (This issue is also
available online
as a 1.2 MB Adobe PDF file.)
Thanks to Laserist editor Julie Stewart for putting this together so
well, under such a tight pre-conference deadline!
ILDA has joined the American Society of Association Executives.
Thanks to a generous donation from Board member Peter Mayer of Creative
Laser Production, we now have
access to the resources of
ASAE, the "association of associations".
Already
ILDA has used ASAE's researchers to gather information on the
