Graham's point is a good one. We can rant and rave and envisage best-case scenarios as much as we like, but without some hard facts they won't mean anything.

Let's apply a little "kaisen", one of whose principles is "genchi genbutsu" the art of continual improvement. A fundamental part of this is gathering the infomation from the frontline.

I'll try nd get some details from my PRO, Sabam, for the purposes of comparison.

Incidentally, if a folk group is already considering this, they should perhaps extend their work to other similar organisations.
