If there is indeed a Dacre problem it’s not the one I meant.

It seems the recommendations are designed to encourage full participation by making full participation a requirement. How this will work in practice is probably that OfCom (or whoever is assigned the validator role) will require the industry to keep plugging away at a new regulator until it is able to gain full membership of all the significant news publishers. In that respect, it is still entirely voluntary in its design, but will eliminate the Dacre problem.

I’m not sure it is quite the catch-22 you perceive, as full membership has always been the ultimate aim. The statutory underpinning merely requires that the industry agrees on a regulator that is sufficiently independent and effective, which has so far been its failing.
