Eve:
It’s been a long haul; congratulations to CAA for getting this published. Your point about who CAA represents is a good one. We need to keep in mind that CAA also represents artists. Just as an aside, and if it’s of help to anyone: we set our thumbnail size policy at 400 x 400 pixels (or 400 on the longest side). This allows a printout suitable (just) for a school report or research notes or other private study use, presumably consistent with the Fair Use provisions of the Israel Copyright Law, and is reasonably close to the AAMD recommendation.

It's probably due to the fact that CAA represents museums, but primarily by representing the individual scholars. A revision will be needed. For now, this is a good first step, as it reaches a much broader audience and constituencies than the AAMD guideline.
