## Practices

> * Form an independent oversight board tasked with monitoring DPI implementation and ensuring adherence to transparency and accountability standards.
> * Integrate oversight procedures into the governance structure, making sure they are part of the institutional framework.
> * Publish oversight outcomes and procedures on accessible platforms to allow stakeholders to review and understand governance processes.
> * Establish an independent body to oversee human rights concerns arising out of DPI design and implementation, including the possibility of direct communication and complaints by citizens.
