Dear Colleagues,

Less Regulation and More Chaos!

That's what we need in this RIM Profession.

I would have thought that were in deep enough manure already without turning
our backs on Consistency, Accountability and appropriate Guidelines on what
is World Best Practice in RIM.

I do not have a problem with diversification and indivual excellence but if
my system is so good - IT IS ONLY UNDERSTOOD BY ME. I vote for consistent
control from a central point with input from all and a set of rules to abide
by.

YES! As Peter K points out CONCESSUS is the Holy Grail to controlling our
RIM patch.

If we cannot get concessus someone must drive this ship and also abide by
the rules of the sea at the end of the day someone must be responsible.

More consistency and agreement is the GOAL!

My 2 cents worth.
