In that I must agree.. if standards are to be maintained (and as you rightly say many are doing just that) then the standards must be both policed and seen to have a benefit and a disadvantage to losing these benefits.
Perhaps a big question for the 25th IFA conference..?
I can however see a kernel of formation where SCAUM becomes the Employers group.... Diggers Group or PROSPECT (ehem cough) representing the employees and ALGAO representing Curatorial ... The IFA could/should merge with IHBC and concern itself with standards and guidance.... CBA/CSA concentrate on community and BAJR can just poddle along..
It would be interesting to see exactly what RAO status confers on a group? Does it mean that a Client can be 100% assured that the group is absolutely capable of a task? And if that group finds this is not the case could they point the final finger at the IFA for not ensuring the standard was met? Perhaps as you say... this could be considered.
