</span>Since you are trying to break the issue into atomic parts, I would<br>
comment that your second question contains two sub questions<br>
<br>
a) is there an accountability forum, to which the accountability actor<br>
is responsive?<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
b) is the relationship between the accountability actor and the<br>
accountability forum one of holding the accountability actor to account,<br>
where the accountability forum's view is decisive? Or is the<br>
relationship merely advisory, where the accountability actor's view<br>
ultimately prevails?<br>
<br>
i.e.<br>
- does the forum exist? and<br>
- does it prevail?<br>
