Hi Scott

I did a google search and found this document - wanted to check my facts 
before replying on this list and not just repeat hearsay. 
www.permaculturenews.org/files/pri.../PRI_Master_Plan_MOU.pdf

 I've had a few folk shopping for courses question if I'm PRI-approved, for 
me it holds no serious credibility.  I'm only on the pc global website to 
endorse my graduates who choose to join.
