QMI White Paper, RE: AS9100

[Don Palmer]

For general reference purposes, how reliable is the QMI WHITE PAPER prepared by Roger Ritterbeck, Jr.?

Thanks in advance for you response!

Reason for Editing: Removed link because some might consider it advertising. I'm doing research, and NOT making a sales pitch for any specific registrar. Seems to me this writer gave a pretty good summary of AS9100 and I just want to credit my source.

It is a good question.

If I sent readers to my web site to read my articles, I would be crossing the line into advertising. As it is, I write to build awareness and at some point will have established a sense of authority where managers would seek me out. I understand that is why consultants are supposed to write and get published.

But the White Paper you referenced includes an outright solicitation on the last page, which does seem to clearly identify it as advertising even though the information is good.

I hope this insight helps!
