We need a proper public consultation on this, in the same way as the<br>
current Cybercrimes bill, and the recent ICT policy.<br>
<br>
Just another thought that has not so far been raised: Engineers are<br>
also 'ICT Practitioners', so are some lawyers, so are some doctors, so<br>
are many other professions, which each already have their own<br>
registration. So they now must ALSO be registered as ICT<br>
practitioners?<br>
