Standards
and Standard Setting Process

Standard Setting Process
The Standard Setting Process for Fair Music
The process of standard setting is managed by the Fair-Music Project Managemement Team. Decisions about the standards are made by the Fair Music Project Consortium.
After project completion, a Standards Committee will take over the decision making and the process will be managed by a team of experts from the Fair Music Certification Agency (which will be setup during the Fair Music Project).
