ARB is hampered by a fundamental problem in that the appelation "architect" is widely used in IT and other job functions where ARB cannot prosecute.
In my view the general public is not interested in the fine distinctions advanced by ARB as to why IT persons (landscape architects, naval architects etc) not on ARB's register can still legitimately call themselves "Architect" whilst some building professionals cannot.

Pandora's "Architect" box is open and no amount of internal censorship at ARB or "trying to get the right message across" will change the fact that protection of title now has little value to architects.
Conversely, ARB's own income is wholly dependent on maintaining the fiction that title protection is worth £98.50 pa.
