Why should it be sent to ALGAO for comment??
What do they have to do with it??
I think you may know that the ALGAO disliked the Data Transfer Agreement that was made with the PAS and the HER's and wouldn't sign up to it as they viewed it as putting unfair restriction on public access to data. Yet the agreement was made with participating HERs. I personally don't care about your unions or who is who. All I care about is getting the data in the historical record for the UK. You can argue amongst yourselves who agrees or not. But the offer is there and no-one can say it was never offered.
You must not forget one thing... we are not government... we are not archaeologists.
But we do recognise what recording of finds can add to the archaeological record and our countries heritage.
Remember that UKDFD has been paid for and financed by volunteers, yet no one within government/heritage circles acknowledges the heritage contribution it is making at no cost to the public.
