From the Paper:

"In order to make certain that these steps are proceeding as planned, consistent review is necessary. Human Resources needs to maintain the language liaison's office within the scope of its own department. The liaison will be required to provide documentation of progress on a monthly basis for the first twenty four months of the program; it may be needed to review progress every two weeks if conflict or unforeseen challenges arise, such as conflict between the government and the University. All review will consist of oral reports and documentation that reflects the current status of each phase of the program. Specific consideration needs to be made to detailing observed areas in which problems have occurred or could occur, and recommendations that could be used to reduce or avoid these."
