Old 2015 standards to be applied. The attempt shall lead us to find meaningful assessment method for future Expert candidates.

__2. Certification Jo Trewartha as Trainer__
*Trainer application july 2017 via Johannes
*prerequisite Master Practitioner and Speaker
*Trainings already given:
**60 min intro to 20 people in person
**2 90 min webinars to 20 people each time
**2 day foundation training - organised and delivered 50 per cent 
*full webinar submitted for review, checked by Penny and Kora

Robert abstains from agreeing with her certification, because there is an unresolved conflict between Jo and META-Health Academy which is presently under investigation.
Mediation is needed. The committee proposes that the issue be passed on to the BoD, Tron is proposed to be asked to perform as mediator. 
Otherwise, Kora who led the communication with both parties will continue as mediator. The process shall be finished within one month to reach peace between the sides. 

__3. Rules of procedure for current training standards and certification requirements__
to be communicated to and followed up with the Master Trainers:
*Levels 2 and 3 training content and hours as published on [https://www.meta-health.info/meta-health/professional-standards/] to be acknowledged and complied with (outline of own trainings to be submitted by all Master Trainers to office@meta-health.net)
*Certification and revalidation requirements as published to be acknowledged and complied with (including valid membership of MTs and practitioners)
*Ongoing education as agreed on in MT convention 2016 to be followed up (50 hours minimum during 2 years - ongoing education can be trainings inside or outside IMMA, own research and development shared, participation in META-Health conventions and conferences, engagement in peer-review of studies and professional discussions on the members' portal, etc.) Follow-up procedure to be established in the new structure (e.g. together with yearly membership payment confirmation)
*Assessment methods can be refined and measuring standardized: Robert will work on this
*Diverse and rebranded trainings that shall yet lead to certification by IMMA have to show that they comply with published standards by presenting an outline of their curriculum and examination process. Alternatively, examination can be carried out by an accredited MT for a reasonable examination fee.

A recent case of possibly uncompliant training announcement by Johannes shall be investigated.
An email to be sent by the Committee to Johannes, inviting him to directly communicate and to submit evidence of compliance, or to stop these announcements stating his LP course leads to 3 certifications "at once".
