I am afraid that may be a little simplistic Kel, if you have no real fear of repercussions then there is no fear of registering. A few letters can lend a respectability to an otherwise shakey company and until complaints are handled openly, consistently and impartially then chartered status is a long way off. And the fact that the sentiments of DC and others are that they do not wish to join is a reflection of how far there is still to go. A chartered body for archaeology should be aspirational not something that people are forced kicking and screaming into. I would argue that such a body is needed I just feel the IFA has too much baggage associated with it and there is a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
But i guess thats off topic xx
