Despite the complexity, the consensus emphasized the importance of maintaining rigorous oversight, including clear notification protocols for covert operations. Whether these are fully constitutional or require reform remains a topic of debate.

The discussion also acknowledged that the timeframe and nature of approval vary depending on operational needs. While some operations may require immediate action with post-facto notification, others should be cleared through established constitutional and legislative procedures.
