Applicants supplied policies, public statements, leadership lists, and examples. Certification required a fee and annual renewal, but the governing values remained only partly defined.
Organizations were not called enemies when denied. They were described as not yet aligned, allowing rejection to appear temporary while the standard remained undisclosed.
