A user recently suggested that we add the Plan Regulations for the registry to our website. We've done that - they'll be visible to you in the morning as a link in the "Connections" section. In the process of adding the regulations to the website, I discovered that they became effective on January 1, 1976. As far as I can tell, they've never been updated. And they seem seriously out of date, calling for linen plans and ink that affixes permanently to the plan material. If my memory is correct, there weren't a lot of CAD programs in use 28 years ago, so the archaic language is understandable - but it's only understandable as a historic artifact, not as a relevant, useful guide for modern practitioners. So, I'm asking for your assistance. Please view the plan regulations once they come on line, then send me your thoughts and suggestions on how they should be updated. And don't forget to check out our new bulletin board and, if you're not too busy on Friday at 3 p.m., visit our chat room so we can converse electronically in real time.
