Background

Documentation

Redline version and Pre-publication Draft

The Standards Board met in both September and October 2016 to fully consider the input from Comment Letters (over 2,000 individual comments were submitted) and to complete a comprehensive editing process.

The end result from this open consultation process is that the Standards Board has further revised IVS 2017 which you can view in a ‘redline’ format, below.

A clean Pre-publication Draft without any redline markings can be downloaded below:

From April to July 2016, four other Exposure Drafts of elements of IVS 2017 were consulted upon. These are available to view below, but the comment letter deadline has now passed.

The IVSC Standards Board welcomes Comment Letters within a 90-day period (in accordance with our Bylaws). Individuals, firms, organizations, regulators, companies and others are encouraged to provide feedback to ensure the revised chapters meet market needs. All comments received as part of the consultation process will be published on the IVSC website and will be considered by our Board.

Comments are requested from those who agree with the proposed standards as well as from those who have suggestions for improvement. Feedback is most helpful if comments are detailed and specific. Those who disagree with the proposed standards are requested to suggest alternatives supported by specific reasoning
