Dumb question from an Aussie: what are those two Australian bodies doing there? Australia's not actually still part of Britain, despite what our prime minister might think. --Eric TF Bat 05:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I found 5 Australian bodies in the list and have removed them. For reference they were

• Australian Institute of Building (AIB)
• Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM)
• Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA)
• Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust)
• Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI)
