The term "paper" usually implies a study of a factual topic. If you set up reasonable criteria for papers (studies of factual topics), you may get a sufficient number of good studies of relevant factual topics. And yet the whole thing may be totally devoid of political or ethical concern, and may tend to frame the issue as merely a practical or technical one.
I don't think that is a good outcome. Do you agree? If so, a plan is needed for avoiding it.
