These are the procedures of the ACQia:
- first two definitions:
- then the procedures on Auditing:
- and finally, the procedures on the ACQia itself
The content of these definitions and procedures is given below.
Definition: Confirmation Committee
- a Confirmation Committee signs a Confirmation Statement
- it is an ad-hoc group: it is created just before the act of signing and is discontinued right after that
- it consists of:
- fixed members
- the Minister of Justice
- the Chair of the Parliamentary Committee of Justice
- variable members
- at least one other Minister
- at least one other Chair or Vice Chair of another Parliamentary Committee
Definition: Establishment Committee
- a temporary group gathered to create or modify an object, like the ACQia Handbook
- as soon as all relevant parties agree on its content, the group writes a Confirmation Statement
- after this Confirmation Statement is signed by a corresponding Confirmation Committee, the object becomes definitive and ACQia administers it and publishes it on the website
