What we publish, and when
This is the heart of the arrangement, not a compliance page. A small body cannot protect itself through internal checks and balances, it has no room for them. It can protect itself only through the fact that everything it does is visible.
The publication schedule
Each item appears in this public space, without any login, within the stated deadline.

| Admission decisions and reasoned refusals, anonymised if the person requests it | As they arise |
| Annual accounts and use of subscriptions | Each year |
| Report of the external oversight, in full, including if unfavourable | On receipt, without delay |

| Number and outcome of reports handled | Each year |

The Framework under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence
The competency framework is made available under the free CC BY-SA 4.0 licence: use, citation, adaptation and redistribution are permitted, with attribution and an obligation to indicate any changes. Versioned, with a public revision history.

Anyone can use it, member or not. A non-member school that adopts the Framework does exactly what we want: a standard adopted outside CARPEA is a success for CARPEA, not a leak.
No member, including the initiator of the project, may claim any enforceable priority, restrict a third party's use of the Framework, or present their own version as the reference version.
Our resource model
Differentiated subscriptions by profile and, for schools, by size, the principle being that no one is shut out by cost. Learned institutions do not pay a subscription.
Project funding for study work, with no funder having any right of oversight over the conclusions.
Red line: no resource is accepted if it gives its provider any influence over the Framework or over membership decisions.
