Going back a bit in this discussion to the question about obtaining references from curators for candidate RAOs - how could you ensure fairness?
There are still county-council owned units around that share their senior management with the local curatorial body. I know one where the county archaeologist is also the line-manager of the unit head. Some of them actively discourage the involvement of other units in their territory, where they can. There is therefore a significant risk that you would get biased references - in favour of their own unit, and against competing units.
