​I have noted in another discussion, several comments of my own, but there seems to be a lack of interest or it takes too long to read and digest the report.

​Apart from Roy's original comments and direction to be able to read the report, it would be great to find out if IMechE, ICE and the IET have had any official comments on the report and if not, when can we expect any.?

P.S. Just had to get away from CEng v IEng status discussion.

    Daniel, I think they way I posted the info can seem as if I'm concerned with Nevada Engineers. 

    I was providing an example how an organization NSPE fights like in Canada the Ontario Engineers fought for the PEs.

    So what I was saying to my fellow members in the UK maybe there is a need for something like that in the UK?

    In the US there are work environments where you do not have to be licensed to work legally as an engineer. There are exemptions under certain conditions for manufacturing, for the government, or for military work. In fact, a minority of graduates of US engineering programs become PEs; most use their training in positions that do not require licensing.

    My approach to IET is international in scope.  Numbers may change yet:

    The IET has more than 150,000 members in 127 countries and offices in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. The IET provides a global knowledge network to facilitate the exchange of ideas and promote the positive role of science, engineering, and technology in the world.
