When you have a set of standards
you define the standards
you define the penalties
you set up accreditors
you set up an arbitrator
accreditors compare [whatever] against the standards
arbitrator makes a final decision
penalties or rewards are applied

Now, as this is talk, we can talk for the next 12 months about
standards, penalties, who is in group a and who is in group b.
