Three kinds of proposal

Correction

Factual errors, ambiguous wording, translation mistakes. Point to the section and give a source.

Proposal

New clauses, threshold changes, different judgement rules. State the impact and the compatibility plan.

Industry adapter

Differences in capability wording and evidence for manufacturing, trade, e-commerce or software.

Governance

  • Proposals are public issues with at least a 7-day discussion window; changes affecting levelling need two maintainers.
  • Version freeze: at most two levelling changes per year, so employers and practitioners do not have to redo evidence repeatedly.
  • Contributions are submitted under DCO (Signed-off-by) and licensed under CC BY 4.0.
  • Derived versions may not use “FDE Level Standard” as their name and must state the origin.

The open-source repository is live: github.com/0706tech/fde-level-standard. Please file errata and proposals as issues there (public and traceable); if GitHub is not convenient, email works too, and we credit it in the changelog.
