RE: AIS: Synopsis of Judges Handbook Changes?

Yes, revisions are substantial and extensive throughout the handbook.  I
don't recall them all though and haven't had a chance to go through the
new handbook yet to refresh my memory.  I remember three off the top of
my head.  Awards and Ballots training taken as a student can count
towards the requirement as an Apprentice.  The second one is the
requirement for in-the-garden training.  The third is the renaming of
the classifications of judges.

Lots of people worked on the revisions, and many of them only on parts
of the handbook.  I expect that only those who have attended all the
board meetings would know what all the changes are.  As I recall there
were discussions of changes at several board meetings.  I expect a
synopsis will be very difficult to come by.

Anner  --  Thanks for your response and the subject tag.  I don't know 
whether portions are being sold, but I doubt it.  Whether the revisions
are 
extensive, I don't yet know, but I was advised by other irisarians at
the 
Convention that they are important.  On the basis of that advice, I
bought 
the new edition.  As one who has revised his share of government
regulatory 
manuals, I know that organizing and carrying out such a project is a
huge, 
lengthy and laborious effort, and we owe much gratitude to those who 
undertook it.  Unlike regulations, revised government manuals don't 
necessarily  include an executive summary or guide to the changes, but
it 
helps when they do.  Perhaps one or more of our number who are familiar
with 
the changes might informally give us their "take" on what the more
important 
changes are.  --  Griff
