 Are the rules of engagement clearly defined?  With flexibility as the hallmark, how will the decisions be made?  How will the goals and outcomes change in response to changing environmental, cultural and economic conditions?  How will local governments be effectively engaged?  Will new levels of transparency and verification also be hallmarks of this agreement?
