steve, From your link - this is news to me - Washington, D.C. - The International Biometric Industry Association announced that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has approved IBIA's application to be classified as a nonprofit trade association. By gaining this status, IBIA is formally authorized to take collective action on behalf of the biometric industry in full compliance with antitrust, tax, and lobbying laws. Approval was granted by the IRS under Section 501(c)(6), the provision of Federal tax law that is specifically reserved for nonprofit trade associations composed of companies - including competitors - who wish to advocate common goals for their industry. "The legal building blocks are all in place for IBIA to be an effective trade association," says Bill Wilson, Chairman of IBIA. "We are legally incorporated, properly registered under the lobbying laws, and now permitted to advocate the collective interests of the industry as a whole." Wilson adds that the trade group is currently focusing on activities that will promote public understanding of biometric technologies, and encourage lawmakers and regulators to adopt policies that promote industry growth. IBIA was formed in September 1998 and currently has fifteen member companies. It is open to all biometric manufacturers, integrators, and end-users who agree to honor a code of ethics that recognizes the protection of personal privacy as a fundamental obligation of the biometric industry. Biometric technology involves the automatic identification or identity verification of an individual based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Such authentication is accomplished by using computer technology in a noninvasive way to match patterns of live individuals in real time against enrolled records. Examples include products that use face, iris, hand, fingerprint, signature and voice measurements in environments such as border control, information security, physical access control, financial transactions, time and attendance, law enforcement, and other civil and government applications. For further information please contact Richard Norton, Executive Director of IBIA, at phone (703) 905-0211 and fax (703) 250-3217 Rick
