- On democratic processes, it agrees and says "We intend to extend DDiN2 until 2021 to ensure full election cycle support", and that it will review the lessons from Burma.
- On state-level accountability, it "Partially Agree[s]": it agrees with publishing state-level data as part of peer review but recognises "there may be political challenges with the groups who will have to consent".
