The model that I envisage of how it should work is:
- ogb asks advocacy to go and do this
- advocacy goes and does it, comes back with a result
- ogb says "thank you" and gives it a stamp of approval.

In other words, the advocacy group does all of the "hard work"
but it should still need to be ratified by the OGB.
