Are there any other counties which currently operate such a system? If so, how successful a system is it?
How interesting, and to be honest, I'm suprised this hasn't happened sooner. Some of the specifications, reports etc. I've come across and have seen sent out, could have used a bit more editing and proof reading. Then, on the other hand, specifications and reports have been sent back with unecessary edits that require time and cost to address before the document (s) receives approval. Before the critics/cynics pile in, yes I'm well aware of what should happen as oppose to what does happen to allow this to happen in the first place. The charge for editing and approving WSI's ( I should think this will eventually incorporate other germane documents to meet approval) appears reactive and revenue generating. Obviously this is something that those whom are involved in this side of things will have to address. I can't help think that this will be incorporated into client charges. Interesting times for archaeology and all that it entails.
