It also implies that the discussion in another thread (ask the UN for help) is not likely to be the effective answer. It has all the problems Kevin described, just for starters.
If country/UN input were the only input, then yes. If it is just an additional source of input, perhaps even one that is more timely and authoritative, then I think not. It would be up to the coordinator to act as editor and choose which updates to accept and which to reject, just like now, or so I envision it. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@gmail.com>
