Hi,

I think the lack of collegiality and wicked finger pointing isn't going to help us find the accountability solution we need to find.  In fact I think it leads us in the other direction.

This is a multistakeholder group and the rule is that we all have different perspective.  Perhaps I have a Pollyanna view on all of this, but to distrust others because they have perspectives, often multiple perspectives, that are different that my own just seems like such a waste of effort, both personal and collective. 

Just a personal opinion mind you.

As for lawyers, i see them like doctors. My general rule is never act on a single opinion alone as they come from various perspectives just like the rest of us.   I am as concerend when the lawyer tells me exactly what I want to hear as when she tells me what I don't want to hear.  They are fallible, opinionated and constrained by their interests, just like every other one of us.
