This was what I had in mind although it would not really be any kind of
control as the reporting member would usually have stakes in the project
and could choose to simply not report problems. Obviously we should be
able to trust projects but then we must be aware that it is not a
'control' thing anymore.

I would really really suggest to keep it at the 3 month term as Cameron
suggests, also from the perspective of those having to digest and evaluate
the information.
