To deal with the 'ps' first:
Sorry that was my mistake in the heat of the moment! I meant that price-fixing is illegal. I don't think wage-fixing (or even 'recommending') is illegal. But my point still stands - yes we need people like BAJR and the IfA recommending minimum salaries but we also need a 'big picture' approach to raising the status of the profession as a whole.
RE slagging off: I think there are one or two on here who will not see any good in the IfA ever, and therefore make negative rather than constructive criticism. I don't think this helps anyone. However I acknowledge that this goes both ways.
And as for time spent on BAJR, I really should be working! And I am just an ordinary MIFA, not a Council member or anyone else with a particular brief to defend it. Not sure about the working party conclusions myself. Perhaps you should reinstate the IFA section and offer to feed news from their site?
