Mr. Frank Vaughan:

Very positive suggestions are being made about further dialogue and considering the possibility of some solutions in networking. I noted the comment that trade unions are networks. I will not argue against that. I cannot claim to know all the intricacies, difficulties and problems that might arise. Of course it is a good idea, but let us continue the dialogue and see if can we tease it out and come up with systems that assure quality but leave players in existence who can make a contribution. There are particular problems even in engaging learners because often someone will commit to one component of what might be a major award who is not ready to commit to the big leap. If we lose those people no one will go for the major awards, or it will potentially disenfranchise people-----
