As part of the Advisory Panel's investigation into whether or not the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Advisory Panel on Professional Licensing in Software Engineering should support the licensing of software engineers, the panel interviewed representatives of Texas Board of Professional Engineers, one of several groups developing such licensing programs. ACM has now withdrawn from active, direct participation in the development of a licensing examination for software engineers in the state of Texas. ACM, however, will continue to work with the IEEE Computer Society through the Software Engineering Coordinating Committee on the definition of an appropriate "Body of Knowledge" for software engineering and on the identification of standards of practice. While ACM expects this work will contribute and add value to the licensing efforts in Texas and elsewhere, the association has requested its name be removed from the Texas Board's Web site and that ACM not be identified as being directly involved in Texas Board's licensing effort.
