Don't be frustrated on my account.  BTW I wasn't attacking, I was just
saying that I like others here am not persuaded as of yet and the hurdles
seem significant.   Maybe if you lay out what exactly you have in mind such
concerns would be allayed somewhat.  Thus far it's been proposed in a rather
abstract manner that makes it look like form's not following function.

By that do you mean this?

If so, we're not talking about the same thing.  I was talking about
multistakeholder or nongovernmental monitoring/analysis as a horizontal
complement to a vertically segmented and distributed institutional
architecture that arguably makes a meaningful FC difficult to do.

I personally don't find the above formulations to be optimal.  1 is too
broad, 2 sounds a bit like beating dead horses, and 3 is too narrow.   But
others probably feel differently...

Best,

Bill
