The scheme for the pilot is still not finalised and will be
discussed at the next BACS User Group meeting in early Feb.
It is obviously a complex issue due to the variety of
administrative methods employed by HE and FE Institutions.
Those of us who participated in the initial pilot and
have progressed onto the User Group are endeavouring to
safeguard the interests of members of this mailbase and the
wider community.
Wider use of electronic transmission is growing in all
areas and is something I'm quite comfortable with now that
I can complete a 237 page attendance report in 3 days
instead of 3 weeks.
Please don't be dismissive of new initiatives, we now have
voices who can raise concerns and point out impractical
ideas before decisions are made.
I think it's better to be inside trying to influence than
staying outside and getting stuck with something that would
create more work than less - as has happened before.
