[kictanet] ICT Authority to weed out quacks

@James,

I like how people are open minded about ICT professional.  it is okay to 
be a drop out, it is okay to not have any qualifications, just have 
passion and be good at what you do.

Doctors and Pilots used to be treated the same way. few regulations, few 
standards and no regularity body  until we realized that our lives 
depends on these people and their mistakes can be catastrophic.

The ICT Industry is heading in the same direction. our errors are 
starting to cause some serious damages  and the society is right when it 
demands some yardstick to know who is who.

Will you fly with an uncertified pilot ?

Can you go to the  operating theater  with a passionate and committed 
doctor but no certificate ?

Why will you accept anyone to mange  the system for your bank, hospital, 
airport and even national security.

Cheers

Nelson
