An interesting quote from the new Digger letters from Evelyn Baker: "If 'curators' and clients insisted on RAO or MIFA status or proven equivalent for site directors"
ok.
no.1 as a "curator" I do not believe I can legally insist that any contractor is a member of a voluntary organization.
no.2 why just Directors? Why not Diggers?
no.3I would not insist that anyone should join the IFA until such time as the IFA represents all archaeologists, (see 2)
Also:"We are encouraging more participation from archaeological planning officers who have a crucial role - they write the briefs, inspect sites and sign them off. This should deal with non-IFA cowboys - the minority who undercut by cutting corners."
The IFA are going to encourage me to participate, which will deal with the problem. What the hell does that mean? Are they going to encourage me to do my job? I already do my job.I have to. ITS MY JOB.
So to sum up: the IFA do a lot of secret work(but dont like to talk about it)If important people were MIFA it would be ok. Its not the IFA's fault anyway because its the Curators responsibilty, or no, actually its the Diggers who let the side down -you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I am a little bit annoyed.
