Having been involved on the margins on the ‘standards micro-culture’ for just over a year I recognise all that Umit and William have to say about it. There are a number of conversations we have over and over again, and strategies that some participants can be seen to engage in… in fact I’ve picked up on some of the more effective ones and have been experimenting with them in other contexts.
I think the next step might be a game of standards bingo… I wonder how many of them I’ll tick off on Monday.
