Resources & Source Map
The public site begins with formal records, clearly labels interpretation, and protects people who contributed private context.
This page is the map for formal circulation. It shows what belongs in the public record, how each source may be used, and what remains private.
Source map
Each collection combines a clear member question with the strongest available record.
The formal framework for who governs, what members approve, and how Board accountability is made visible.
The standards, processes, and formal communications relevant to assessor independence and credential stewardship.
Records that help distinguish administrative support, implementation authority, and Board oversight.
First-hand material used carefully to identify chronology and questions, with privacy protected.
Formal financial records and operational records that help test sustainability claims without over-interpreting them.
Evidence discipline
The classification protects accuracy and privacy while keeping the public argument traceable.
Leads public factual claims and can be named or linked after final source check.
Supports chronology and context after privacy, consent, and relevance review.
Context only. Never published raw without explicit consent and a clear public-interest reason.
Helps organise questions but is not presented as proof.
Explains the story visually and is not evidence of the underlying claim.
Language access
English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese should carry the same claims, qualifications, and evidence references. Translation will never be used to change the substance for a particular audience.
Current working and source-reference edition.

These categories show what the protected material helps us test. They do not promise automatic access, and they do not turn private discussion into public proof.
Member-only documents, Assessor briefings, formal FAQs, and IAF-domain correspondence help establish dates, stated rationales, reporting lines, and the organisation’s own account.
Dated correspondence and event-preparation records help test what participants were told, when decisions became visible, and which readiness or selection questions remained open.
An archived public training post, Process Manager correspondence, and contemporaneous notes identify visible delivery roles and the unanswered authorisation chain. They do not, by themselves, prove the full governance arrangement.
Survey responses, online meetings, chat groups, and meeting records help identify recurring questions and consequences. They are not used as opinion polling or allegations.
Key events and background information are retained only for internal chronology and risk review. They are not publicly redistributed.
Use the participation form to identify the protected source and explain what you need to verify. Submission does not grant document access; privacy, consent, safety, and relevance are reviewed first.
