thank you Greg. I'm still struck by how important I think Mark's work is, and by how little attention he's gotten so far. It;s interesting that from the very beginning of photography, longevity has been a top concern of all involved at every level, something we were taught about, and a big part of our decision making even as individual artists, much less providers of various services.

Now, I suspect because of the radical pradigm shift to digital, we're simply cast adrift, and the new community who are coming in as digital practitioners from the outset, have no idea this is even a longstanding issue in need of awareness.

So, even though WIR enjoys visibility and provides some level of information, we are left with Mark. Photography being produced all over the world every day and we just have Mark.
I'd like to say again, that WIR has implemented Marks iMetric standards, so clearly there is widespread acceptance.

So your suggestion that even individual artists in a position to contribute, should, is excellent.
