Thanks for your views Nick.They are certainly valid and I agree that we have a difficult balance. The BAA does some really great things and we want to encourage as many people as possible to become members. We’re working on ways that will allow non-members access to a limited number of services so that they can see what we do but which will control access beyond a certain point so that there are still significant benefits in being a member.We are definitely sensitive to the fact that there has to be a clear benefit arising from membership and recognise that there are pros and cons here. Making the forum visible read-only to non-members was just one of the ideas mentioned at the last Council and we have a lot of scope to fine-tune this or even turn it off altogether depending on the reaction/feedback that we get.Nick.
