Proposal: an ICT practitioners registry.

Dear all, First, apologies for cross posting. I needed this to go through to both lists (and if you can, share it widely). As a pre emptive attempt to keep rent seekers at bay in the name of regulation, I propose a portal, named "ICT practitioners registry", a free to join, free to leave online registry. It shall be a self regulating Web portal where anyone who considers themselves a practitioner shall fill a Web form (to meet the "registration" bit) and shall be assigned a registration number. We can even have the system generate pdf membership cards for those that wish to have them printed and certificates generated for printing for those that wish to print them. We shall then have a separate list where quacks (not alleged quacks) who have gone through the judicial process and found guilty of being quacks can either be listed separately as quacks, or temporarily or permanently suspended. In doing this we will have left the burden of proof on to the "prosecution" and not the "defence" to prove who is and who is not a ICT professional.

Warm greetings! Proactive thoughts! I suspect that the Government may borrow this to have an approved vendors register. Be blessed.

Hi all, It seems we have a major challenge with ethics in the country. There is urgent need for the vision 2030 delivery board to take stock of our social pillar. We must tackle the bull by the horns. The problem is not IFMIS, the problem is not practitioners, the problem is we are too brilliant for ourselves. Even after the much touted Judicial reforms, do we trust our Judiciary?, we need to fix the problem at the source. When a river is polluted, we arrest the source of pollution we don't block the entire river.
