It notes certain inappropriate applications of the term, and in particular the use of the word to describe those (currently) admitted to the basic level of membership to the Spatial Sciences Institute of Australia, noting the dangers in such inappropriate use of the word both to the organisation, and its mebership, but proposing means by which such problems can be solved.
