ROGERS, Associate Judge,
concurring:
Although this opinion would constitute future notice, I write separately to indicate that I think Rule XI should be amended to incorporate the holding of this opinion. Our Rule should clearly state that a member of our Bar cannot escape disciplinary review here and retain a misleading unblemished record, notwithstanding admitted unauthorized practice elsewhere. By so amending our Rule, it would be in conformity with the disciplinary procedures in Maryland and Virginia. Rule BVl(a), MD. CODE ANN. (1986 Supp.) (“‘Attorney’ means any person admitted by the Court of Appeals to practice law.”); Va.Sup.Ct. Rules, Part Six, Rule 6: IV, 1113, 216 Va. 1143 (1976) (“ ‘Attorney’ means a member of the Virginia State Bar_”).
