use the power of our disqualification items as a means to be judgmental against an applicant or web site for any personal reason. Without bias or prejudice we will always only disqualify web sites when we discover illegal content, breaches of our regulations, infractions within our criteria or where our minimum points level of 80 from 100 is not achieved.

'extreme search' for reasons to create a web site disqualification as few, if any, web sites can withstand the scrutiny of people deliberately seeking to do this.

not provide evidence. When we find criteria disparities we will provide proof to O.N.Z.C.D.A™ Management no matter what the requirement of proof takes giving the full details so that the items listed as disparities may be verified, these details being made available to applicants after assessments are completed. Once Management has verified the criteria disparities the assessment of the particular web site will end. Staff will not continue to look for other disparities continuing a full assessment once they have found enough proven criteria disparities. This may mean there are other disparities within the web site that have not been reported.

be active participants to any web site that we find with criteria disparities and then continue the assessment because of any personal friendship with the web site owner ignoring the criteria disparities found.

It is not our job to 'proof' any web site that applies to this award program. We will not provide a step by step report so an applicant may make the changes and reapply for and achieve our award on the next application attempt. We want our applicants and the achievers of our awards to maintain the honor and integrity of their work and our awards and this will not be achieved if our award process provides for us to 'give the answers' to our applicants. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make any required changes prior to the application - not that the result of the application is a process to proof their web site for errors.

Applicants should never forget we are human - none of us are perfect and we do not strive to be so. We make mistakes because we are human but because we are a team working together, each of us are charged to be honest, therefore if 'mistakes' are made these will be immediately dealt with.
