How about starting with PTG and enhancing it.  Why all this re-inventing the
wheel?  Don't you guys have other things to do?David Ilvedson, RPTPacifica,

Hi David,
    Let's be clear here that the caut committee is not a committee run amok,
out chasing rainbows on its own. We are acting at the specific direction of
the executive board of PTG. The impetus from the board has its origin in the
president, Dale Probst. He draws his inspiration and direction from the Long
Range Plan. The Long Range Plan was developed at the direction of Council,
and was adopted by Council.
    IOW, we are doing what YOU (this being an all-encompassing you meaning
the entirety of PTG, acting through its representative body) have asked us
to do. (The Long Range Plan includes goals of creating various skills
testing and accreditation systems beyond RPT in specialized areas of our
profession, including specifically higher education).
    Over the past several years, we (the caut committee) have discussed
notions having to do with credentials of one sort or another, and have
tossed around various specifics and worked to more or less create a
groundwork - this taking the form of creating a regular curriculum for
national and eventually regional conferences. We never seriously considered
anything this all-encompassing and ambitious. 
    This summer we were asked by the board to undertake the task of coming
up with a practical design for a caut certification of some sort, and
directed to include skills testing, written testing, and curriculum
components. We are doing so. 
    Speaking for myself, I have lots of other things to do. I am doing them
as well <G>.
Regards,
Fred Sturm
