Problem Summary	ACP Boards may operate as panels rather than serial interviews
Problem Text	An applicant for accreditation wishes their Boards to operate as interview panels, in which a 1 hour interview take place between a candidate and the board members simultaneously rather than one at a time. Given the more demanding environment for candidates, and the way in which the board may behave as a group, it is considered most unlikely that a candidate would be accepted by this approach but rejected by serial interviews. There is therefore no expected reduction in the quality of the program. An ACP operating with panels should be required to change the composition of the panel at least once every 12 months. An ACP may have more than three interviewers on a serial Board or a panel and may have more stringent voting rules than are required by the ITSC program, for example a requirement for unanimity instead of majority. ACPs that wish to operate serial boards may of course continue to do so No change is implied for the way direct boards operate
