Re: Iris registry of Names

While I appreciate the thanks, remember that most of the work is done 
by other volunteers that work on the Checklist and R&I data, checking, 
correcting and separating it into the proper tabbed fields,
I just do the organization, account management and system updates.

As a status report, all the sections of the 2000 R&I are out for 
editing, most are back and we will start on the 2001 shortly.

Many thanks to all my editors.
