More on the "licensing security consultants" thread, this time from
SANS in the US:

--30 September 2002  Security Contractor Certification
According to the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, the Bush
administration is planning to look into the possibility of requiring
computer security contractors to be certified by the government.
Critics of this plan say the cost may keep smaller companies, which
often have the most capable employees, from obtaining certification.
They also point out that certifying a company is meaningless if its
best employees leave; individual certification would be more
meaningful. http://federaltimes.com/index.php?S=1153154
