[rpd] measurable ? - Re: ToR Appeal Committee Review

[Dr P Nyirenda]

Noah,

These seem to be good suggestions, however, they will only be useful to the Appeal 
Committee if they are precisely measurable.

I would hence like you to consider measurability of the suggestions and then frame them in a 
way that they get to be precisely measurable for accurate decision making clearly  visible to 
everyone.

Regards,

Paulos
