I am going to be very clear and say that I am not at PCO. I am not going to put that hat on. I will, with the hat that I do wear, say that it is hard to determine exactly how you're going to draw parameters around an exercise like this.
I think there are kind of two general ways you can go. One way is that you can be very specific: We are going to have an inquiry that answers these specific questions. You don't get a lot of veering off. That has the upshot of being clear. It might be easier, especially given that the timeline is not very long, to be very focused on the questions you want answered so that you're achieving that clear objective.
On the other hand, you may want to have a broader process wherein you're defining parameters around how we can measure the health of democracy, what sorts of factors we are looking at and what we can do to improve that. The value of an inquiry like this is really going to be in the recommendations. People will literally flip to the back to see what you think we should do.
I think, to get to the point, especially given that there's not going to be very much time, be solutions-oriented. What is it that you want to recommend to make things better, and based on what research and evidence?
