Sean,
Do we actually need the cooperation of the organizations in question to
effect this? For large enough failures, the results are obvious and the data
is fairly clear. Perhaps a first stage of a Disruption Analysis Working
Group would simply be for a coordinated group to gather the facts, sort
through the impact, analyze the failure and report recommendations in a
public forum. A sponsoring organization that could provide a legal liability
shield would be desirable, as anyone not cooperating may make the
non-cooperation more active than passive.
