I think any standard should apply to all contests, not just RDXC. Perhaps a
small board of respected contesters could be set up to which contest organizers
would present their proposed adverse actions - not just for power but for other
infractions - unacknowledged assistance, etc. The board could be sworn to
confidentiality to protect sources and methods being used.
Great idea.
However, while the sources should be protected the methods should be open for
public scrutiny. This way they can be independently verified for reliability
and accuracy to a standard that is acceptable to the general contesting
community. In fact, any software based method used to determine infractions
should be kept in the public domain so it can be re-tested under new conditions
and improved with time
