The concept of the I.S.P.it  is great but we have already thought of it!  Below
is an extract from the CIPS Ontario bylaws  (and there is a similar section in
the other approved provincial bylaws).

2.4.2 Candidate Members

Those members who are pursuing Certification under the I.S.P. Designation, but
have not yet been certified, and who otherwise maintain themselves as members in
good standing of the Society, shall be considered as Candidate Members.
Candidate Members do not have the right to vote, but have such other rights and
privileges of membership as described in Section 2.5 and as prescribed by the
Board of Directors from time to time.


The only problem is what to call them on a business card or resume.  I don't
like ISPit or is it ISPIT if we're not careful with the spelling and
pronunciation.   I would prefer Candidate I.S.P.  but there is already a CISSP
(Certified Information Systems Security Professional) which the National
Security SIG is involved with. So perhaps A.I.S.P.  is the best answer and we
can change the bylaws slightly.
