        <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Like all statutory councils the
          Bill, when it becomes an Act wont force people to register.
          Registration will only become compulsory if and when any work
          reservation is instituted.<br>
          <br>
          The other aspect to consider is when a client wishes to use a
          registered person, in the same way as a client wants say a
          registered engineer or registered valuer or even a registered
          accountant etc... - its a matter of a clients choice. It does
          become harder for the state though, as they are dealing with
          public money and normally insist on using registered people
          and employing registered people. The state cannot undermine
          the legislation it created and so its duty bound to employ
          registered persons only.<br>
          <br>
          So in essence, the state is bound to use registered people,
          while the public can use anybody (provided there is no work
          reservation).<br>
          <br>
          With regards the category GIS practitioner or GIS Technologist
          or even GIS technician - until work reservation is instituted,
          there will be little difference. Some that I can think of
          would be the Title, and issues around running a company.<br>
          <br>
          Regards<br>
