I work for the tech division of a non-tech related branch of public service. It's scarier than you think. People passing by in the hall are sometimes literally added to the meeting taking place and get to (are obliged ?) voice any advice they might have on the subject being discussed. Boom, they are now an expert and project leader. It's not about legislation though but the consequences are very real (how to project gets implemented with all the dance with contractors and other branches and how it will impact everyone in the country).
