I don't disagree Steven with your thoughts on local democracy....but to just to correct one slight error. You do not have to be a member of the IFA to make a complaint against an IFA member. The disciplinary procedure can be triggered by anyone who has a grievance against an IFA member based upon the IFA code of conduct. That could be a developer, sponsor or member of the general public.
Of course one of the problems with the concept of IFA lists is that they would/could only contain the names of indiivdual IFA members or Registered Archaeological Organisations, as the IFA is unable to make sanctions against non-IFA members. At the end of the day that is the real reason why a 'listing' scheme as has been proposed cannot work....The same with the CBA..
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
