As am I.

Buy you're already one level ahead of me: you have three initials (JHB); I only have two (RR):

Maybe you can be a CMI, and I can be a CMI JR. That would give me more letters than you.

As I've stated many, many times, I'll run my business as I see fit as long as it is within the law and my franchise agreement (which happens to be a legal document, i.e., "the law"). And if I disagree with the law, then I'll work to change it. Anyone else who wants to run this business can purchase it from me; price is negotiable and it's a well established company.

It's really simple then isn't it Russel? It isn't for you, so you won't join.

No one is forced to join CMI, or NACHI. Just another business decision.

I didn't know we could join as a lifetime member.
Can we still do that?
Can we quit and rejoin as a lifetime member?

I would think that all members of the CMI peer review board should be CMIs and inspectors in their respective states

I would think that all CMIs should be inspectors in their respective states

I would think that all CMI board members should be inspectors and CMI's in their respective states

I think that CMI board duties and responsibilities should be published and if they can not be met then they should be replaced

CMI Board minutes should be published to all CMI's

I think my thoughts are not that of the majority of our board but might be the thoughts of the majority of CMI's

I was member 143 here. Was it even before my time then?

And I trust Nick will and who ever takes it over will honour there previous commitments.
. Roy Cooke PROUD to be a CMI

Blaine Wiley never came across to me as one who is hung up on purchasing "credentials", like those of the Hooper ilk. I guess I was wrong.

Very much so.

But I still feel free to provide an alternative point of view. This is discussion, right? The thread shows it as being:

NACHI Message Board
General
Misc. Discussion
CMI - The Outline Plan

If you want your ideas considered, Richard, I would suggest you post them at www.inspectionnews.com .

No Question.

James said up above, several posts ago..

Today, there is no peer review. All you do is send in your money and sign an affadavit that you meet the criteria. You are then a CMI. I am only an affadavit and a check away from being a member, myself, if I needed to add to my alphabet.

Its still peer review by a quasi self regulating body, non profit, no-share capital organization certifying its own. It the same with the National in Canada, but it looks like 4 provinces are going to be licencing home inspectors. CMI will only seperate the newbies from the experienced in terms of marketing. The way I see it.

Hung up?? Please. You see my credentials in my signature, don't you?

I bet if the names were different on the peer review committee, you'd be all for it, if you could qualify.

I would also bet that if I were to sit down and have a beer with Rowan, Hooper, Patterson, Farsetta, Gromicko and Beaumont, that we'd all find out we had much more in common in our thoughts of the inspection industry than most would believe. But then, you have to listen to learn.

I'm sure that we all share common thoughts...but there are substantial differences...especially in regard to NACHI, that make all the difference.

How many of the thoughts published in this thread...expressed by Hooper and Patterson from their email...are in sync with yours, Blaine?
