I did have a vague knowledge of this document you mention above, but was not aware of it's inminent release, and Novemeber is not that far indeed.

It is a good idea in terms of training etc, although it is sad to know orgs like the AOP and others have lost the power and appeal to involve their members into relevant trend-setting education and training programs. One of the things I have commented time and again in many forums is that we have to ask ourselves how effective can it be keep the atomization and segregation process of the man power available among us, and I don't find a solution for this. Having to develop a new organization in order to accomodate the higher expectations of a group of colleagues may just mean that another group will build their own org to accomodate their own interests, etc, and on and on, withdrawing negotiating power and industry muscle from us at every level to positively effect change.
