    Thanks, Daniel, but I tried that--their response: "That's the
    policy.....blah blah"----disappointing to see such provincialism in
    a professional organization, especially in the gem trade, the most
    international of business activities. 

    The gems that give AGTA its raison d'etre don't even originate in
    Canada/USA so I'd expect AGTA should have an international
    outlook----so much for expectations. 

Best wishes
Bill
