Yes I beleive there is and what lacked was leadership and some sort of
cordination in this aspect. As a matter of fact the firm I work for
was planning to start some thing on these lines then bsdcertification
emerged and we chose to go wit them :-)

I think if the certification process is built on credibility then it
will stand any test even if it takes a little while for the Corporates
like Yahoo to acknowledge it

kind regards
