In follow-up to today's meeting of the CredWeb CG, NewsGuard's about 
statement is now available in StratML format at 
http://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#NG

The nine criteria they use are listed at 
http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/NGwStyle.xml#_226d96b0-3c88-11ea-aeef-f5fa1d83ea00

As time permits, I will also render in StratML format the plan that 
Sandro outlined below.
