Greetings to all!
I am seeking your valued input again. Now that the ICC Nazis have shown
their hand, how many of you will continue to be a member with them?
I have been a member in the ICC Regime since its inception and before that,
it was with the SBCCI. Other than a [ perceived ] discount on the code books,
I cannot see a benefit to remaining a member. Only one or two times have
I called for an interpretation on a code section. I still do the certification
testing thingy, but I am really questioning whether or not to remain a
[ valued <---- ??? ] member.
What are ya'll planning to do?
FWIW, in this same mindset, Region IX has a move underway
to formally adopt/create a National Association of Building
Officials, rather than the ICC path. It too is in its early
developmental stages. I recently asked some people in
the know about whether or not there currently exists another
National Building Officials [ or Code Officials ] Association in
existence, ...I was told "No, there is not another national
[ code officials ] association in existence!"
For some time now, other code officials have seen this
current ICC situation coming and now that it is here [ in
this current form ], it is painfully clear to a lot of people
that other alternatives are required ( i.e. - a user friendly
forum, ...possibly another set of code books; if or when
ICC goes under or morphs into something that is not
acceptable, ...another national association of code
officials, ...some type of certification & training options
and other needs as well.
As always, your input is requested and VERY MUCH
appreciated!
