for their awards was not best practice. A trial was begun which ultimately lead to the
Board of Directors meeting on a monthly basis to review programs. We have received
favorable feedback on this change.

Standards Revision – soon after the implementation of the 2011 Standards, the
Board found it necessary to develop interpretations for several of the new
Standards/Objectives. By the end of 2012, it became apparent that due to the number of
interpretations, the Standards should be modified to include the interpretations so that
programs would have only one document to reference to determine whether they were in
compliance. Only those objectives with an interpretation were sent out for input from our
communities of interest. After two drafts, the Board accepted the revised Standards at its
October 2013 meeting. The 2014 Standards have been distributed. If not done so
already, programs are encouraged to review the 2014 Standards for program compliance.

The JRCERT had been asked by our programs for several years to convert to a paperless
accreditation management system (AMS). The JRCERT converted to that electronic system
during 2012. The increase in expenses can be directly attributed to the implementation and
continuing management of that system.
