I am guessing that the membership of the IfA will be involved in voting in the measures that define a chartered member. My preference would be for a probationary period (irrespective of your IfA grade) of at least 3 years (so no-one can go from nothing to Chartered in one membership leap), testified achievement for that period, and a formally constructed dissertation/exam at the end of the period and before Chartered membership is bestowed.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
