Generally, it is quite possible that those who are affiliated with
organisations that do paid/organised mapping simply have a more
pragmatic view. The outsider might say: "Sure, this should be
disclosed!" - and the insider might say: "Errr I wouldn't even know how
we should do that". It is, for example, possible that in some groups the
individual mappers aren't even told which metrics are applied, if any!

It can be in nobody's interest to implement a policy that doesn't work,
so we'll certainly have to involve those who currently do paid/organised
mapping and ask them: Is this something that would work for you?

Bye
Frederik
