GPWA seal350 sites awarded GPWA-approved portal seals
We've reached another milestone - 350 sites now have the right to display the "GPWA Approved Portal" seal. Congratulations to the 80 newly approved sites (and their associated webmasters). The international adoption of this symbol of credibility and ethical behavior has been truly amazing. If you are a current GPWA private member, and would like to be a participant in the seal program, please pm CityGuard with the URLs of the websites on which you would like to use the seal.

Second, you'll be identified as being a member of the GPWA.
