The previously scheduled April 5, 2010, organizational meeting on the formation of a new ASTM International activity regarding the development of captive animal photography and videography has been postponed. 

As previously reported, this activity, with support from the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP), will address the ambiguity that presently exists regarding the ethical responsibilities involved in maintaining, photographing and publishing photos of captive animals.

The meeting, when re-scheduled, will be conducted via Web conference to accommodate all interested parties.  An announcement regarding the new date will be forthcoming.  Please contact Pat Picariello, director of developmental operations, ASTM International (phone: 610-832-9720; ppicarie@astm.org) for additional information. 

For more information on this new activity, view the original news release on the ASTM Web site at www.astmnewsroom.org/default.aspx?pageid=2069.
