Performace appraisal is an independent media and community engagement with the political process. Now there's a massive disconnect between politics and society. Are you thinking of an appraisal system run by a "council of twelve", a "chairman of the board"; perhaps a corporate managerial system where the speaker of the house forbids a junior senator to speak at a weekend rally against toxic waste in their district until they've filled in all their TPS reports.
That kind of thing would only widen the gulf. Performace appraisal should be left to the people and we have a responsibility to hold our politicians accountable.
I fear a formal corporate style appraisal system would be commenced, corrupted and coopted by one party and then the other - just another cheap and sleazy chance to smear the opposition.
