Hi Gavin,
Would there not always be a "reasonable likelihood of manipulation"? What objective criteria would be applied to the decision whether the likelihood is reasonable? How and when could that decision be challenged?
Thanks,
Mike

The risk is of malicious interference, where an actor tries manipulate "Critical Diagnostic Measurements" (CDMs) to make it seem that mitigation actions were not effective, when in fact they were. In such circumstances, temporarily postponing the publication of the plan if there is a reasonable likelihood of manipulation seems appropriate.
