That way you can prevent de-valuation of ICT services by regulating standards and also preventing under-cutting. By so doing people will benefit more from ICT. Not everyone who can dispense medicine is a doctor.. We need standards and the like. <br>

<div>@Bernard,<br></div><div>Well said...its the programmer&#39;s welfare that we envisage from such an association(s). Not the software standards or anything to do with standardization. If I may revisit my example, LSK doesn&#39;t try to set new standards of the Law, but the practice itself and its  recognition; and that it approves and stands for good lawyers in that profession according to a set of rules for its members. </div>


<div><br></div><div>In the end, this has the overall effect to both the service providers (be it lawyers or coder) and the service recipients (be it software end users or defendants in courts) for good quality service and recognition by industry as a respectable occupation!

Several standards in the computing industry have been developed openly. We can do that right here in skunkworks. Discuss and agree that Software must meet some certain conditions to be standard-compliant
