I would have thought any curator worth their salt would be very cautious over any lists. My understanding was that you could keep lists of those who had worked successfully in an area but that actually recommending anyone is dodgy legally. Recommending that project leaders have the equivelant qualifications needed for MIFA is also fine but curators do not determine who does the work that is the clients job. You live or die by what your clients (and curators) think of you not by what the IFA says.
Of course you have to meet the curators, conditions but again any curator with experience knows who can and cannot do a job properly just by looking at their track record without recourse to looking at IFA membership or RO status. Yes there are standards in archaeology usually these are published by the IFA but are usually the result of various organisations working together. We all know that meeting those standards is a matter of personal professional ethics not membership of the IFA.
