TTG-ready provider
(“TTG-RP”)
“We are a TTG-ready provider.”
That simple statement is all it takes.
That’s how any image-providing organization, of any size, declares that it is willing to at least occasionally publish the TTG label with qualified photos...
. . . and to publish the name/UOI of the photographer who is making that guarantee (as well as any IC alerts that the photographer has attached).
Contract-image-providing organizations (e.g., newspapers) don’t need to signal their TTG-related expectations, because they already trust the photographers supplying their photos. They can simply identify any TTG-qualified photos as they publish them.
Complete flexibility
1. Most image-providers need not change a single word of their existing policies when adding this RP designation
2. It is understood that for almost all TTG-ready providers, TTG will apply to only some photos, not all of them, and TTG-RPs can wall off TTG-suited sections any way they choose
3. The TTG-RP is under no obligation to publish the TTG label with any particular frequency
4. The TTG-RP can adhere to all of the points in Publishing TTG photos or may declare exceptions to those points (see #12 on that page)
5. Every provider always chooses its own level of engagement with TTG
In the top line in the first white box above, “We are a TTG-ready provider”...
• “We” can be replaced with a proper noun
• “provider” may be replaced with any other suitable noun (publisher, organization, website, agency, etc.).
The URL for this page is teg.photos/rp should that be useful for explanatory purposes.
