It appears that the vested interest for Disklabs is to protect the reputation of its industry and thus itself. Proper peer review within an industry seems to be one of the most effective ways of keeping it honest and efficient and if the IPDRA remains fully transparent, there's no reason why it can't achieve its stated aims.
In the name of peer review, however, it's not for HEXUS.channel to endorse this new association or otherwise. We urge readers to see for themselves and share their thoughts in the HEXUS.community discussion forums. We'll ensure your comments are brought to Steggles' attention.
