 "Independence requires personal responsibility.  This demands
submitting to both national and international standards for credentials
that can be applied at the local level, within the civil licensing community.
The scholarly standards must merit research acceptability, promoted by
the community of higher learning institutions.  A reduction in current
bureaucracy [Internet disorganization to a centralized unit], must be
promoted, to keep online genealogy free and independent; a part
of he socialization and learning process of society as a whole...."
