Simon,

I've just done that - I thought I'd sent it last week but it must 
have got lost in the post. The draft version of the Code of Conduct 
for DNAs should be posted within the next few days as well.

There is no point joining the DNASEL list, it was just for the 
initial work. From now on the documents will be discussed in public 
forums like this. As far as the timetable goes, we are hoping to have 
all public input by the end of June so that we can have proper 
versions to apply to our first DNAs and 2LDs if any by mid-August.

Obviously the documents will probably be modified a fair bit after 
this as well as problems become apparent in the implementation of 
them.

We agree with all of this - we have been a bit tardy with getting 
this info together basically because we are all running businesses of 
our own and this has slowed progress down. Hopefully, now that we are 
in the public consultation phase, things will get done a lot more 
quickly.
