*** Here is one proposal for how the decision authority might be passed on through time. 1. initially, members of the project team who collected the data requested would decide. 2. if
there are no longer reachable, then the decision could be made by any remaining members of Timescapes. 3. after that, the decision authority would devolve to the institutions
(Leeds/UKDA) holding the data. An extra proviso could be an embargo. That is, the institution could not release the date until 100 years from birth year of the participants (or some
similar wording).
