  2. Patrick confirmed that online sample test is complete and online, available to public.

  3. Next meetings scheduled: Nov. 21st & Dec. 10th at 6:30 am Pacific Vancouver time. Via conference call line.

  4. Voted and approved new name for Learning outcomes Doc: IITTI Basic Level 1 Standards & Guidelines

  5. Discussed and voted to approve change to level 1 exam business dress questions: are to be administered gender specific to test taker.

  6. Discussed and agreed that level 2 exam business dress questions will remain administered to test taker randomly non-gender specific for higher level skill evaluation

  7. Discussed Business Dress revisions by Kimberly on IITTI Basic Level 1 Standards & Guidelines. Approved with minor changes by Christina and Patrick.

  8. Discussed and agreed to revamp of Basic Level 1 Standards & Guideline to reflect purpose, intent and title as a public document for trainers and test-taker.

  9. Started discussion of #5 of September 4th agenda: finalize costs and cost structure for level 1 exam.   (Founding members: you can go to "Founder's Corner" to get this working document.)

    Discussed idea of introductory offer for individual exam fee of $95 for individuals and $75 for group rate of 20 or more participants. Kimberly identified that based on the current estimated expenses of $70 per participant this leaves nothing for the Alliance's research/marketing or IITTI fund for advocacy.

    Furthermore, currently we are dependant on IITTI members and Alliance to do all proctoring and train the proctors which may incur travel and other expenses. Christina suggested that we table this discussion to the next meeting in November. Kimberly suggested that we take this discussion off line so that we can make progress before the November meeting. Directors agreed. Kimberly will start dialogue via email.


Action Steps due for November Meeting:

  1. Complete incomplete actions from Sept 26th meeting:
