Abstract
An identifier of choice is correlated () with a predetermined task that potentially comprises a plurality of discrete human-enabled events. At least some of these discrete human-enabled events are then associated () with a corresponding capacitively-coupled radio frequency identification tag and the identifier then used () to monitor effectuation of the predetermined task. By one approach this monitoring comprises, at least in part, monitoring human-based task effectuation events via the capacitively-coupled radio frequency identification tags.
