      Well I'm fundamentally asking a question: what is the benefit of putting them together? And apologies but unfortunately the day job means I don't have time to write anything more coherent than 280 characters here and there.

      Would be great to have an answer to that. I see no benefit from running the different issues together, and a number of serious disadvantages.

      In terms of the book, it doesn't make sense to unpick the UN process. I might have written the SDGs differently but we are where we are. On the substance of having an umbrella term, there are pros and cons...

      Politically, the combination approach allowed a mobilisation of policymakers and civil society (especially across Africa) that was broad and powerful - and a big part of the reason for the SDG target.

      On the downside, the umbrella term is to a degree responsible for the initial UN system view that a single indicator for 16.4 could do the job - which I think we will be able to get beyond, but hasn't helped the early analysis.

      Alex we've been here before but the UN says that there is no agreed definition and no resolution on this specific point https://developmentfinance.un.org/illicit-financial-flows …pic.twitter.com/GiXNzRnkQG

      @TaxJusticeNet @GA4TJ & @icrict are say that their preferred definition was agreed in the SDGs and there can be no legitimate question on the matter https://www.taxjustice.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Letter-UNSG-Jun17.pdf …pic.twitter.com/IXwXt8mTXO

      UN World Bank IMF interagency task force 20 page report says it's unclear. http://www.un.org/esa/ffd/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Illicit-financial-flows-conceptual-paper_FfDO-working-paper.pdf … I really don't think there's a global/UN consensus on this that can't be unpicked

      I'd very much welcome your making the case at github that the definition is unclear, or other than proposed in the draft.

      I'm not sure how I feel about this. How can I (or anyone) be welcome to make this case if the project's organisers have already declared that there is *no legitimate question* that can be raised on this point?

          The collaborative aspect is focused on, and exciting (to me) for the potential to strengthen the technical evaluation of methodologies and data, so that's where I really hope people will contribute most. But...

          But that said, the introduction is equally open to evidenced suggestions, contributions. I don't expect consensus, and as you say our views are well known, but the process should strengthen the analysis. All welcome!
