The primary reason for certification is to enable members of the
profession to define who they are, what are the skills that make them
unique, what contributions they make to industry, etc.

Once again, that is something that can easily be accomplished without a
certification process. A simple list will suffice. So this is *not* a
primary reason for certification, but yet another byproduct of it. The
reason for certification is exclusion, why not just admit it and get on
with the rest of the discussion?

Nobody is imposing anything on us from outside.

If you set up a cert process, you most certainly *are* imposing something
on me from outside. It's nothing I want or need or ask for, so it's
certainly not coming from inside.


Have fun,
