What is the governance model for the I.S.P.?
The governance model varies by province since the I.S.P. designation falls under provincial jurisdiction. In more developed cases such as in the western provinces, the I.S.P. designation falls under ministerial direction. In Ontario, the I.S.P. designation was recognized with a private member’s bill. On a working level, lay people sit on the CIPS board of directors. The CIPS certification council and accreditation councils operate semi-autonomously from the board. 7.
