Hello Thanks for the comments so far. We will look into producing relevant guidance on this important matter, which will involve talking to HEFCE etc. We will try to get back to you as soon as we can, although with leave arrangements etc it might take a bit longer than usual. In the meantime, can those who would be interested in contributing to the proposed guidance, e.g. as part of a potential advisory group or critical reader, please let me know (off-list please)?

I am happy to do this but it might not be this week! It might also be useful if the ECU could produce some guidance on the process, what do you think? I am getting in touch with people individually to discuss so if you have responded to my email I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
