[discuss] accountability

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I think a formula that combines:

- coordinating bodies, of some TBD composition, with some limited
decision making capabilities, not only for transition but as part of the
long term solution

- and accessible appeals mechanism paths, both internal and external.
With some of them being advisory and some binding.

- with agreed upon levels of seperation

should be looked at for accountability.
