<... compile the results in a self-reporting manner (we know they won't cheat, right??..:0) and then these results would be presented at the next full meeting ... Basically, this would guarantee (IMO) that there would be little derogatory information since everyone would be at least 80% compliant, whether they were or not. But the problem is that with this kind of reporting system, FEW people would trust the pollyannish statisics and it could engender a panic if people feel they are not being told the straight skinny.> LOL - Sure sounds like a lotta U.S. government agencies to me.
