The main objectives of the ISO SR Trust Fund are to:
- ensure balanced representation among diverse stakeholders in the development of the SR standard;
- increase and broaden stakeholder involvement to ensure the credibility of the SR standard and its development process;
- enable effective participation in the standardization process.
To meet these objectives, funding will be used for sponsoring experts to participate in ISO/TMB/WG SR meetings and for supporting a limited number of awareness-raising and capacity-building events on the SR process.
An ISO SR Trust Fund Committee has been set up with responsibility for managing the Trust Fund in accordance with the above-mentioned principles.
An ISO SR Trust Fund Secretariat has been set up with responsibility for supporting the Committee's decisionmaking process and implementing the sponsorship process. The Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) has agreed to take charge of the Secretariat until the publication of ISO 26000.
In order to uphold the principles of diversity and independence, the SR Trust Fund Committee will decide upon the acceptability of donations as well as upon the allocation of funding. Concerning the acceptability the Committee has already decided to accept donations with restrictions, such as limited to: experts from developing countries, geographical area/continent or stakeholder categories.
All organisation that contribute to the ISO SR Trust Fund with US Dollar 10.000 or more are entitled to mention their support to the ISO SR Trust Fund in their reporting, communication and/or SR activities.
