International Org/Dev/Coop / partnership
English term or phrase: line
Source text:

There should be a clear line of channelling grievances that begins with the bottom to the top. Public-Private Alliances, Memorandum of Understanding and any other form of agreements should clearly spell out the process. The current format of agreements has nothing of such.

En este contexto, podría traducir line como forma o manera?

--> in the Queen's English:
There should be a well-defined channel for passing grievances ...
