Excellent points, Michael! I agree with much of what you wrote here, especially the first three points. I think the most important theme you bring up is the relevance of indirect influence, which you’re absolutely right isn’t reflected well enough in the definition as currently written. We are working on an operationalization of this definition now for the purposes of prioritizing key institutions, and I believe the way we’ve structured it will allow us to take considerations like these into account. Would love to have your feedback on it and will PM you with more info.
