Not a lot, no. I've seen behind the curtain and actively helped those who were actively at the table, but not a primary or full access to all of what was going on. But I'm also not trying to push the discussion in that direction of discussing actual collective and mediating processes. I'm just saying what technically the rules of the game are and give insight from a different angle.

I'm not disregarding what you've gone through and have done/experienced. That's your expertise, I don't know it like you do and I'm leaving that alone. I am pointing out that for certain hypothetical scenarios where the rule is here vs the situation is there, is it so far away from what is supposed to happen that a foul needs to be called? Or is it a situation where the result is still close to where it's supposed to be, and thus "OK". I'm also saying that conflict of interest and independence are things that should be able to be addressed relatively little time comparatively to the rest of the whole situation. It's not supposed to be something that should take a ridiculous amount of time with insane barriers to figure out.

When I re-read your post, it doesn't seem like we're completely conflicting... more like same ish page, different paragraph?
