Bill,
YOU stated, ?I too wish to congratulate the bright lights at NACHI who shut
down the Canadian Section. It also makes it impossible for someone like me
who has been trying to give some very valuable information to NACHI members
about their futures as Home Inspectors in Canada.?
Without disrespect, I must say Bill, You or Mr. Quinn did not seem to have
any problems posting on the NACHI site as of the 24th of this month, as is
obvious and I don?t believe you would have any difficulty at present.
However, you certainly did not have too much valuable information and/or
answers to simple questions from NACHI and other association members.
As per your statement, if I understand you correctly, CAHPI will be
administering the certification process for the National Initiative.
Decisions on who will be eligible for certification at whichever level will
be made by either National "Certification Council" or Provincial
"Certification Council(s)." These "Councils" will supposedly be at arms
length from CAHPI, and its provincial associations and will be made up of
people both inside and outside the industry. (Educators, realtors, insurers,
lawyers, and others familiar with the certification process) Although CAHPI
is the overseeing body, it will not be able to reject anyone who is
recommended for certification by the independent "Council", so it appears.
The questions are:
1.) How are educators, realtors, insurers, lawyers, and others
suppose to be familiar with the certification process?
2.) What qualifications are they required to bring to the table to be part of certification process/certifying Council?
3.) These people are lay peoples in the sense that they do not know our business, why are lawyers, insurers and particularly Realtors overseeing any type of Home Inspector certification?
4.) Who certifies the members of the certifying Council?
5.) Why is inspector certification not being held solely within the home inspection industry, considering that we are aiming toward self-regulation?
6.) How can grandfathering be avoided, even though we have been told there will be no grandfathering?
7.) Will those in OAHI in the lower ranks and I assume RHI be subject to this same review?
8.) Where are the resources and finances going to come from to fund the implementation of is endeavor?
Try answering the questions above and I am certain your answers will raise some more question, however I think it might be a reasonable starting point.
Best regards
Wolf
