<DIV>So you're wanting to create a CAUT certificate that stipulates attendance
at a specific curricula rather than a skills test?</DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Linking the two is frequently done, but unlinking the two
would be more helpful. The challenges in not just what constitutes
rebuilding, but what might constitute a rebuilding classification, and how it
might be tested, are far greater that that of a CAUT credential.
<BR><BR>Besides, a case can be made for the CAUT credential NOT requiring
council approval as another "classification," but instead being the product of
the CAUT Committee working with the Institute Committee to augment existing
classes with more specialized CAUT classes to provide a core CAUT Curriculum
which simply provides certification to those who attend sufficient classes
within subject groupings. (whew) In other words, RPT
classification, CAUT curriculum credential. The CAUT Committee has
already submitted an action request to the Board along these lines, and the
board has asked us to develop the proposals further. The CAUT Committee
is discussing what that curriculum might include, and welcomes CAUT list
contributions.<BR><BR>Bill Shull</FONT><FONT lang=0
