I was wondering whether the Assurance itself was 
counter-signed, or whether there is a once-only Guardian 
Assurer who signs the Youth Assurer into the system?

That is, countersigning each form or each individual 
assurance is tantamount to each Assurance being done by the 
countersigner.  Whereas the goal is to get the Youth Assurer 
to do as much work as possible, efficiently, without 
endangering the overall governance.

( Also, as a further possibility for the distant future, we 
could say that the Youth Assurer gets 10 points of Assurance 
Grant for *each* Guardian that he finds. )

The CPS may have something to say about this;  which is to 
say there might need to be a comment in the CPS.

But, I suspect ideally the place for this is a wiki page 
that links off the primary Assurance area.  So, in literary 
terms, an Annex to the Assurance Handbook that might be 
"Guidelines for Young Assurers."
