Presentation case<\/p>\n
1. Overview of activities since the last meeting<\/p>\n
2. Museum Act and its effectiveness, agreed to specifically examine whether it is possible to include fixed criteria in the Act to reduce the number of items based on evaluation and also shorten the deadline for submitting reports on the use of grants.<\/p>\n
3. Guidelines for photography for registration purposes, agreed to encourage the main museums to set standards for photography that are comparable to the standards for registration. The project has been carried out in consultation with the Museum Council. A reminder will be sent out immediately to recognized museums to take good care of the photography of artifacts that are part of the registration.<\/p>\n
Matter for decision<\/p>\n
4. Utilization of grants in 2013, all grant recipients have submitted reports on the utilization of grants or applied for a deferral for utilization.<\/p>\n
5. Request for postponement of the use of a grant from the \u00c1rnesingi Art Museum approved and granted until the end of 2015.<\/p>\n
6. Request for postponement of the use of a grant from the \u00deingeyingi Cultural Center approved and granted until the end of 2015.<\/p>\n
7. A request for an allocation from the museum fund in 2015 from the Herring Museum in Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur was refused on the grounds that no applications from the museum were found in the fund's application database despite a careful search. The museum was also unable to demonstrate that an application had been completed and sent to the fund by sending a copy of the receipt that all applicants receive as soon as they submit an application.<\/p>\n
