The technical specifications were developed by a non-profit making organisation which is a professional society, industry or trade association or any other membership organisation that within its area of expertise develops ICT technical specifications and which is not a European standardisation organisation, national or international standardisation body, through processes which fulfil the following criteria: openness: the technical specifications were developed on the basis of open decision-making accessible to all interested parties in the market or markets affected by those technical specifications; consensus: the decision-making process was collaborative and consensus based and did not favour any particular stakeholder. Consensus means a general agreement, characterised by the absence of sustained opposition to substantial issues by any important part of the concerned interests and by a process that involves seeking to take into account the views of all parties concerned and to reconcile any conflicting arguments. Consensus does not imply unanimity; transparency: all information concerning technical discussions and decision making was archived and identified; information on new standardisation activities was publicly and widely announced through suitable and accessible means; participation of all relevant categories of interested parties was sought with a view to achieving balance; consideration and response were given to comments by interested parties.
