If it became a requirement that I had to be an IfA member in order to work, I probably would join up, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
I third that. It does all read like an attempt to take control of the industry on a false premise........weapons of mass destruction anyone.
After the war, when we are all forced to jump through someone else's hoops to become RO's will the quality of work improve? I doubt it.
Its far more likely that all that will happen is someone will be creaming off a nice profit from other peoples work........
The only fair system is one that judges people on their actions (and final product) in a fair, even handed and transparent way.
Such a system should never be in the hands of those who are set to profit from it.
Constitutional societies/organisations and charities are just an excuse for some individuals to cream of profit under the guise of 'project management fees' or 'expenses'

I wish there was a independantly-funded organisation that was responsible for managing our Heritage ............
But such an organisation would have to have the clout to enforce standards of work and maybe even granting licenses to work (or not). They would also have to be accountable to some higher power though.
But many folk, in other industries wish the same...........the older I get the more I realise this country is just as corrupt as it always has been......people have just got better at hiding it and distracting the masses with something shiny.
