		<description>On indicators: 1) once we have the data and understand the existing system of incentives (which given cultural pecularities is itself a formidable task), what do we do about it ?  2) The more information (surveys, statistics) the better

One idea to promote 2) in the area of indicators built bottom-up is as follows - use Web 3.0 tools to construct rating sites akin to citizen report cards.  One reason citizen report cards have not worked that well, I think, is that the instruments used have not been democratized.  By this I mean  to say they have been mostly manual, and therefore not accesible to everyone.  If we were to pick one country, and one sub-sector and pilot a rating site using social networking tools I think this idea would have a good chance of being proven right.  For instance a Yelp-like site for a collection of districts in Mexico.  Check out http://yelp.com to see how yelp works or http://unigo.com or  this article about how democratic bottom-up unigo became a hit: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/21/magazine/21unigo-t.html?pagewanted=2&amp;em</description>
