*PGA Codes of Professional Ethics

The Planetary Gemologists Association - http://p-g-a.org - has conducted voting on certain key issues concerning the ethical practice of Planetary Gemology. The results of voting by 96 PGA Members are given in the new PGA Directory & Journal 2002 (see the WWW edition below). The relevant voting results are given here for easy reference....

*The key issues and PGA voting results (April 2002):

---Use of synthetics in jyotish - 89% against
---Use of very flawed gems in jyotish - 81% against
---Use of pratikul (harmful graha) gems in jyotish - 84% against

When the majority votes are greater than 75% - then the major majority rule is accepted as the standard (based on common democratic majority voting process). These PGA Codes of Professional Ethics must be followed by every PGA member. 

A member who disagrees with any of the above rules may be removed from the PGA Membership lists and placed on the PGA OFF list above.  The PGA off-list will also become an added feature of all future PGA Directories, beginning with the PGA Directory & Journal 2003. 

If YOU belong on the PGA's OFF list and wish to rectify your position please notify the PGA RULING COMMITTEE

Thank you for your kind co-operation in helping to make the PGA a meaningful & useful Association that will benefit the general public.
