Existing policy has addressed the problem of visibly bad actors in the
past[1]. There no reason to expect that they won't do so in the future
(nor should we abrogate responsibility for doing so). One can imagine a
scenario where ombudspersons and community  participants are
independently pursing amelioration of a problem. there doesn't seem to
be a reason why the acitivities would not occur independently  in such a
case.
