In November 2011, the need for a proper, final exam for CSC’s Specifier 1 course was identified. Tom Dunbar (Ottawa Chapter), Mitch Brooks and Brian Colgan (Atlantic Chapter), and David Wilson (Toronto Chapter) were asked to meet in Toronto to develop the exam. Over dinner, they were talking about the need for course maintenance when CSC’s executive director Nick Franjic jokingly suggested they become ‘The Maintainers.’ They all laughed, but the next day, they assembled a proposal to form the Education Maintenance Task Team (EMTT), chaired by Dunbar.
