I find this interesting. Can I ask why you (or anybody else) feel(s) this
way? My own interpretation of ``registrant'' is that it allows me to
demonstrate to my employer a planned and considered approach to attaining
professional membership. (I should point out that this is in
combination with the BCS Professional Development Scheme). Does this have
a ``negative'' value?

I am sure that there are better and more qualified persons than I
to comment on this.
