When that tactic didn't work, they called a meeting to be held on December 4, "and proposed a compromise--that scholars could look, but couldn't print what they see," Shanks said.
When Huntington refused to attend the meeting, Shanks said, the IAA "pulled a pre-emptive strike" by cancelling the meeting but announcing the compromise.
Shanks said that in the announcement, their statement that "at the same time [as the photographs are being released], research interests of scholars should not be harmed," meant that "you can't publish ahead of them."
Shanks said that in order to know what is important for a scholar to study "you need the whole corpus," and that "the only solution is to print a facsimile copy of the whole thing and let everyone read it."
"To me, I don't think any scholar will sign [a request to see the scrolls] under these conditions--you can look, but you can't print what you get," Shanks said. "It's limiting access masquerading as granting access."
