[excerpt

Countries should be rated on their current status in relation to the criteria and benchmark countries.

The proposed ratings should focus on the level of performance assessed against the criteria, rather

than the degree of improvement since last year. The ratings should depend on actual policies, not

promises or intentions.

The rating scale ranges from “1” (very weak for two years or more) to “6” very strong for 3 years or

more). Ratings should  derive from informed judgment on tangible results resulting from

implementing policies over a sustained period of time rather than on intended policies. Institutions

and their good functioning are important also. The following are broad representations of the

various rating categories.
