Accountability for reasonableness16 |
|
| Relevance condition |
Decisions should be made on the basis of reasons (i.e., evidence, principles, arguments) that "fair-minded" people can agree are relevant under the circumstances. |
| Publicity condition |
Decisions and their rationales should be transparent and made publicly accessible. |
| Revision condition |
There should be opportunities to revisit and revise decisions in light of further evidence or arguments, and there should be a mechanism for challenge and dispute resolution. |
| Enforcement condition |
There should be either voluntary or public regulation of the process to ensure that the other three conditions are met. |
