Problem Summary	ACP requirements checklist 6
Problem Text	ACP Checklist item 6 There must be a clear delineation between base and extended certification requirements. We would prefer not to identify extended requirements in ACP internal documentation as it confusing to have them identified as such for our employees and managers. It is not clear what the value is at having them documented at such in internal documents for our employees. We can identify and send to The Open Group as part of the checklist.

Review Resolution	Interpretation (INT)
Review Conclusion	CA review complete. Discussed during ITACWG call 30 Sept 08, and agreed unaminously to be an INT. Section 4,1 of the ITAC Accreditation Requirements states: "The Open Group IT Architect Certification Program assessment criteria (Conformance Requirements and Certification Policy) must be instantiated within the ACP?s own assessment criteria and there must be a clear delineation between base and extended certification requirements. This is required to clarify how the baseline requirements are met." There is no requirement in section 1 or in section 4,1 on if or how "the clear delineation between base and extended certification requirements" is published by the ACP to its constituency. It is acceptable for this information to be maintained internal to the ACP management. It is up to the ACP to decide how the base and any extended conformance requirements are published to their constituency.
