While I know and respect Corrine Cain, I worry about the rise of these specialized "webinars" that require nothing more than an hour and an internet connection, yet convey the impression that one who "attends" is now "qualified" to appraise such a specialized and diverse art objects.

I would at least recommend Corrine and ASA to call it an "Introduction" to appraising Indian art. Placing such a term on one's resume hopefully reinforces both in the client's and the appraiser's mind, USPAP's competency rule, and what Joe Bothwell reminded many at ISA's conference, that "just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

I would encourage all those non-specialists who attend to still consult and work with the specialists in this or any other filed. We can keep you off a witness stand...

I offer my sincere apologies to readers for poor proofreading (not only my grammatical error, but also my misspelling of my colleague's name. It is Corinne, not Corrine...)
