Discussion of ticket: DRAFT IAWG Meeting Minutes 2013-08-1
- Request is clear
- Request is not Errata
- Experience with TrustX was that there was a lengthy delay between submission and approval of receipt.
- Where applicants see a business benefit in being listed as 'in progress' on the Trust Status List, a quicker turn-around time is preferred
- Opinion is that early list as in-progress is preferred - no downside anticipated.
Disposition: Add to IAF enhancements list
The process below does not clearly state
if
the ARB must vote to accept
an application and list it as registered applicant or
if
the application
can be accepted by the secretariat upon performance of review that the
application is not a wast of time (so far out of scope or not aligned
with mission).
I apologize
for
the line numbers but the below, I believe, references
the section where the clarification is needed.
Could you please ensure
this
is entered as a change request
for
the AAS
officially?
Thank you!
Quoting from AAS v3-

:
6.7
Specific Evaluation Steps
651
The Secretariat will validate the initial Application submission up to
and including Part I clause
652
4.1
, step
9
.
653
Where the Application
is
for
a Full Service Approval, the Secretariat will ensure that the
overlay
654
of the collective criteria covered by the combination of
the Applicant’s SoC and those of its
655
component parts encompasses
100
% of all SAC
for
the chosen Assurance Level.
656
When all of these
validation steps are completed affirmatively, the Secretariat shall
advise the
657
Applicant’s Point of Contact (APoC) that the Application
has been found fit
for
assessment. The
658
Secretariat shall then take
these additional steps:
659
a) Counter-sign and
return
the SPA to the CSP’s APoC;
660
b) File the Application
for
later reference, and;
661
c) Notify the Chairman of the ARB of the Application’s receipt (simply
for
advisory purposes
662
– no action is required of the ARB at
this
stage).
663
Evidence of its acceptance of the SPA is a necessary pre-requisite to
enable the Applicant’s chosen
664
Assessor to formalize the contract
for
Assessment (see clause
6.8
, below).
