This is waaaaaaaay overstated.  Judges cannot accept money for judging iris
shows.  Period.

If a judge is asked to give a program in their field of expertise, it is
the obligation of the hosting club or Region to reimburse them for time and
expenses.  A whole different thing than judging a show.  Going mileage rate
is about $.33 per mile as I recall.  Hotel or travel (flight) expenses all
go in that category.  And then an honorarium of say $75--100 per speaking
engagement...   Two sessions = more money than one.....
