Scope & process

Fair, documented license decisions

The License Authority framework describes an orderly review of license applications under the relevant published eligibility criteria and license terms. A license is limited to the rights and conditions expressly stated in its governing document.

Core stages

  • Receive an application and identify the applicable license and requirements.
  • Assess the submitted information against the published criteria.
  • Record and communicate the decision, including any conditions or next steps.
  • Manage renewals, amendments, complaints, and review requests in accordance with the terms.
