I also find suprizing that all agreed about the definition of the keshis.

I'd like to hear what K Scarratt thinks of the book.

I agree with Jeremy that the definition goes against current industry use.
I think he should forward his thoughts on to the committee. I know most of the members and they are good and reasonable people. Like most committee work it is hard work and unappreciated.

Agreed! I too wonder if they actually read this stuff.


Cheers
Ash-who thinks she should just go back to her research and Pearl creations. I stay out of trouble (mostly) that way

The steering committee is clearly comprised of knowledgeable and appropriate people. The problem is that there is no representation for Chinese freshwater cultured pearls. Without it, the interests of Chinese freshwater growers are underrepresented. It leaves the CIBJO organization looking like they are discriminating by omission.
