Microsoft and Novell recently began looking into 
certification for Internet expertise. Microsoft decided to 
integrate material related to the Internet into existing 
MCP programs. Novell took a different approach; they 
created a new certification called the Novell Internet
Professional. 

Do you see a value in Internet certification? Would you 
want to be certified in this area? What should the subject 
matter focus upon (since the Internet is so vast and 
quickly changing)? Are Microsoft, Novell,and Netscape the 
right companies to do this, or would a more neutral
third party be more appropriate? 

Just a few questions I'm curious about. Please feel free to 
reply to this list or to me personally. Thanks. James
