[Kent Swafford]

I find myself in disagreement with Wim over his use of the acronym CTE 
on a web site, since this use clearly implies a credential. Implying a 
credential was just the sort of use we intended to strongly discourage.


However, achieving certification as a PTG tuning examiner is an 
accomplishment worthy of note on a resume, even if only to document 
one's service commitment to the community of piano techs. I see neither 
how a simple statement of such fact worded similarly to the previous 
sentence could possibly be prohibited, nor any prohibition ever be 
enforced.

I claim no standing to be able to change the meaning of the bylaw; I am 
only relating the original intent as I remember it. Please note I would 
defer to the current ETSC in this matter.
