SIRDA editorial hypothesis — Q017
H017 · SIRDA editorial · published
Equivalence determinations can follow the same separation as other decisions: independent evaluators assess the evidence, a multinational panel decides, an appeal follows, and participating regimes recognize one another's certifications on that basis. Each national regime keeps its own regulators. This hypothesis fails if one state or bloc controls the determination in practice, if any party can certify itself, or if the developers who control the network decide who may join it.
