Looks like iStock has a new model release that does not require a witness signature.
The policy of agencies in the past has been to accept model releases from other agencies.
I wonder if AS, SS etc. will accept the new "witness not required" release from Getty/iStock?
Also, will the other agencies drop "witnesses" from their future release requirements?

I doubt that will catch on very fast.
New release?
I accept that Biometric Data derived from the Content may be used by the Assigns for the purposes above (except for the purpose of unique identification) and I voluntarily and knowingly waive any statutory right or prohibition relating to my Biometric Data.
I think this is what that will be collecting:
Face recognition. Measures the unique patterns of a person’s face by comparing and analyzing facial contours.

yes facial recognition usage may offend models more than anything else.
