The short answer.
Corrections and concerns is the Nexus Registry route for challenging a finding, reporting an error or raising a privacy or safeguarding concern about its work on governance and institutions. Each report receives a reference and is reviewed, where possible, by someone not involved in the work; the outcome is a published new version with its history, or a reasoned decline.

How a registry record is corrected.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Report | The error is reported with the record identifier and evidence |
| Review | Someone who did not create the record reviews it |
| New version | A corrected version is created; the old one stays, marked as superseded |
| Propagation | Records that cite the old version are flagged for review |
Identifiers never change meaning; a correction creates a new version under the same identifier family.
