When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

good practices
Dat was de reden om ze ‘Practices’ te noemen, hier vertaald met ‘Goede Gebruiken’.

Ik ben niet zeker over de verschillen tussen good en best practices, maar het zijn niet "common practices" (gangbare praktijken), want zo geformuleerd kunnen die meestal kritiek verwachten.
The platform allows the public to search for good practices and its members the possibility to share their practices, engage in discussions in the forum section and enroll their organization.

ps: je zou kunnen zeggen dat nadat iedereen het erover eens is wat "good practices" zijn, ze "best practices" genoemd worden.

used to ... foolishly
Doet de inhoud van het advies er dan niet toe?
Moet niet elke keer weer worden overwogen op het advies moet worden opgevolgd?
Alleen tot nu toe is het steeds zo geweest dat regeringen dit advies hebben opgevolgd en de schrijver schijnt dat om de een of andere reden goed te vinden.
Ik zou iets willen voorstellen als:
Contrary to what goverments used to do, following the weighty advice of committee X, this goverment foolishly choose to ignore it.
