The difference here being that the client has an additional means of
receiving what they contract for. A GIM is bound by professional ethics
and therefore can (and should be) subject to complaint or discipline.
The offending company/person could find themselves without a license and
therefore with no way to remain in the industry.

people
Possible, yes, but would you get your appendix removed by someone who
claimed to be just as good as a doctor? Would you allow a non-regulated
paralegal to handle a court case that could put you in jail if you
loose? We are trying to elevate GIS to a Profession (capital P!). The
non-certified expert, in this case, would still be free to be part of a
project team that includes GIMs, therefore the client does _not_ loose.
