Given that ACS folks obviously believe that accreditation is their

lead people to think that the 'trust me' badge had currency.

I dont think ACS has made that claim, it simply is asserting that 
registration of technologists ought to happen.  In those 16 statements 
nowhere does it say that ACS will be the body to manage registrations of 
technologists, only that they would like to be part of the body that 
does.  And let's remember that ACS hosted the TIPI forum but it was 
comprised of government, corporates and ACS members so this is a 
distillation of that Forum and not ACS per se.
Please look at the media release at
