Me too! Although the victim… Was very, very good!
Could someone maybe ‘Generalise’ the night and put a post in the members forum? < Leaving OUT the joke 🙂
Re: WTA Council Meeting May 2010
And while I’m reflecting back to last night and feeling the love… Can I just say thanks to everyone for the input and conversations / scenarios etc that were put against the COP. It was a quick passing 5hrs, and towards the end, we were all getting a bit anxcious to get to the end, but we did what I wanted to do, and was needed to be done! The CCAS GAP Analysis! So for that, I say Thanks! 🙂
Honestly, last night has proven that our COP, regardless of ‘Minor ajustments’ is without doubt, OFT worthy!
Result is: Because of everyones contributions last night, I’m a very confident washdoctor when I call Kate (OFT) on Monday!
When I’ve clarified with Kate the 3 ‘Queries’, I’ll type up the reply to the GAP Analysis and post it for you guys to approve before I email it to Kate.

Was nice to see ya’ll again, some good laughs were had (mostly at my expence AGAIN) as well as a lot of ‘Business’ sorted 🙂 So was much worth the effort to attend everyone 🙂
To top it off, Josie wanted my number as I were leaving 😀

Re: COP Draft
Reply from OFT recieved today:
Dear Adrian
Thanks for sending through your updated code of practice. I can now see how much more comprehensive it is from the one that Michael and I had first seen.
I think the next steps therefore would be for you to do a gap analysis of the updated code against the scheme core criteria. You can use the attached document if that would help. The form gives a guide as to what might be regarded as meeting the criteria and a traffic light system to identify weaknesses. Whilst we do not want a full explanation against each of the criteria, a sketch of your plans against any amber or red sections would assist.
We have found that this helps focus the OFT and the code sponsors on to the key weaknesses. Some of the criteria, for example consultation with advisory bodies, may not be currently undertaken. However, it pays to consider how you intend to achieve this so as to give meaningful results. We would also welcome it if you identified other bodies known to you that could be consulted to give a view on the consumer issues within the sector.
I appreciate that you may feel that we have discussed or already done some of this previously, but the intention is to make the process smoother and quicker in the long run. Completing the gap analysis form again at this stage will indentify any remaining weaknesses in the code and, more importantly, given us important information about the resourcing, make-up and influence of your trade association. Although we did discuss some of this at our meeting, it would nevertheless be helpful to have a bit more information about your membership, the market share that this represents, and the differential between domestic and warranty-based work.
Once we have this further information, I think we will be in a better position to decide when you should formally apply.
