N.P.T.F. >Bergen, Norway You just might be setting a precedent for PTG, and a dilemma for the Bylaws, because one of the requirements to take the examinations is to be a member in good standing, and by definition you are an International Correspondent, which is out of the 75 mile jurisdiction of a chapter, and therefore, considered a non-member affiliation. If someone hasn't already done what you are preparing to do, you will be 'rocking the Bylaws boat' by even being allowed to take the tests and by someone saying you can use the designation Registered Piano Technician (RPT). :-) Now I'm far from an being expert on the Bylaws, but it appears that some changes/additions in the wording will have to be implemented through the appropriate committee to accomodate your unique situation, and then eventually presented to Council for acceptance before such a thing could actually take place. That information should that make you feel extra, extra special? (hehe) Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
