Problem Summary	Grandfathering Window too short
Problem Text	The accreditation policy section 4.2 states that "For 12 months after first becoming accredited, an ACP is permitted to grandfather their IT Specialists, provided that the IT Specialists to be grandfathered: " For an ACP with a large population of specialists, allowing grandfathering only for 12 months is unreasonably restrictive and is counter productive. People that are not grandfathered in the first 12 months are required to go through a complete new certification application and board if they subsequently wish to be ITSC certified. This is a needless amount of effort that will create negative views and reduce uptake of the program The 12 month limit in grandfathering should be removed by changing the above wording in section 4.2 to: "An ACP is permitted to grandfather their IT Specialists, provided that the IT Specialists to be grandfathered: "
