"Creating IP Policy in Museums," the subject of this NINCH Copyright Town Meeting, will attempt to answer these questions. This Copyright Town Meeting and Workshop, presented with the Canadian Heritage Information Network at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Museums will be held in the Doubletree Hotel, Portland - Lloyd Center, on Thursday May 22, 9am-4pm. CONFIRMED SPEAKERS: * Rachelle Browne, Assistant General Counsel, Smithsonian Institution * Maria Pallante-Hyun, Pallante-Hyun LLC, Legal Counsel, Guggenheim Museum/Foundation * Rina Elster Pantalony, Legal Counsel, Canadian Heritage Information Network * David Sturtevant, Head of Collections Information and Access, SFMOMA * Nicole Vallihres, Director, Collection Management and Information, McCord Museum of Canadian History * Diane Zorich, Museum Information Management Consultant; author of "Developing Museum Intellectual Property Policies". * * * * The Portland Town Meeting and Workshop will be part presentation, part practicum. Rina Pantalony (CHIN Legal Counsel) will open with a definition of what museum intellectual property policy is, what core values it represents and why it is critical for an institution to develop one. Museum legal expert Maria Pallante-Hyun will then analyze the key issues to consider when preparing policy and will discuss the value of an "I.P. Audit." The specific concerns of smaller museums will be considered by Nicole Vallihres of Montreal's McCord Museum of Canadian History and author Diane Zorich will conclude part one of the meeting with key lessons learned in the research and writing of the forthcoming CHIN/NINCH publication, "Developing Museum Intellectual Property Policies." In the second half of the meeting two practitioners will examine policy building. David Sturtevant will report on his experience of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in developing its intellectual property policy, while Rachelle Browne of the Smithsonian Institution will examine the importance of understanding an institution's larger values in constructing policy. These talks will introduce the workshop component of the Meeting, at which participants will break into working groups to construct policy solutions to particular museum situations. The results of the working groups will be reviewed by a panel of all the speakers. The focus of this meeting is designed to complement that of the NINCH Copyright Town Meeting, held November 2001 in Eugene, Oregon, on "Creating Policy: Copyright Policies in the University" <http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2001/eugenereport.html>. This meeting is also based on a meeting held in Toronto at the MCN Conference on Creating Museum IP Policy <http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2002/torontoreport.html>. The NINCH Copyright Town Meetings seek to balance expert opinion and audience participation on the basics of copyright law, the implications of copyright online, recent changes in copyright law and practice, and practical issues related to the networking of cultural heritage materials. The program will include plenty of time for audience questions, comments and discussion. * * * * REGISTRATION Please register for this meeting using the AAM Meeting Registration Form (http://www.aam-us.org/prof_ed/annual_mtg/2003RegistrationForm.pdf), even if you will not attend any other AAM event.
