Hi Roger,

Thank you for further clarification.  I think my confusion arose from the 
paragraph in Diana Grenfell's book on pg. 31.  I read that the AHS is the 
International Registration Authority, and mistakenly (?) assumed they somehow 
controlled the registration process. 

 How and what is registered during the process is clear, and I personally 
would hold the introducer responsible for quality. As I understand it, David 
Stevenson is doing what he agreed to do.......record information.

Now, can someone explain the "responsibilites" of the International Reg. 
Authority??

Thanks for continue patience,

Lori Johnson
