Re: Carl. KR and the blockchain

Carl, I look forward to learning if your three bullet points have 
sufficient support for inclusion in the AIKR CG's performance plan. 
https://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#AIKRCG

Regarding your second bullet, rather that merely providing reference 
material, it would be good to render the "framework" as a model 
performance plan in StratML Part 2 format, including the performance 
indicators warranting certification.
