Hello Bob,
I'd be happy to contribute a few quid a year towards a BAJR federation, if I could work out how it would be different to what there is at the moment. The discussions of the membership criteria seemed to exclude me at the moment, and the forum seems to be geared towards self employed/short contract/specialists who are members of groups.
I agree with you that seperate closed fora are a bad idea. I notice that the British Women archaeologists forum has now gone, but not so long ago I noticed that no-one had posted in there for a year. I'm not sure that having seperate sections will encourage more people to post; surely everything can be discussed here?
I like your idea of providing model contracts though...
