I am a fan of NIST. They seem to be pushing forward with less than average amount of bureaucracy. By definition everything should be public and they don't have any responsiblity for enforcement of the rules which might be a slow pitch to your question.

Drawing from my roots the Canada Wheat board was always surrounded by heated arguments and controversal decisions. There was the UN wheat scandal but that is more a matter of if you believe they are evil and not their level of incompetancy. They received a significant amount of name calling due to their decisions and policies, but I can't recall any significant missteps in their application of the policies they set out to act upon.
