+## Introduction
+
+The standard scs-0007 documents what requirements integration partners must fulfill to be eligible
+for certifiying SCS Integrators.
+This document contains hints how these requirements may be evaluated by the Forum SCS-Standards
+auditor and how exceptions will be handled.
+
+### Voting on exceptions
+
+When someone requests approval for a certified SCS integrator that does not meet all requirements,
+this can be waived with a qualified vote in the Forum SCS-Standards.
+To avoid conflict of interests and social pressure clouding this exception, we envision the
+following process:
+
+- The beneficiary party (the integrator in whose favor the exception is requested) should be
+  invited to a meeting to explain why they believe that they qualify as a certified SCS
+  integrator despite not meeting the normal qualification criteria.
+- The forum members may ask the beneficiary clarifying questions that should be answered.
+- To ensure an open discussion, the beneficiary should be excluded from the discussions about
+  the matter. The same applies if the beneficiary party is a member of the Forum
+  SCS-Standards. In that case, the expulsion should not be counted against the required quorum
+  to avoid forum members from having a disadvantage. If the excluded party is a voting member,
+  they will automatically abstain from the vote.
+- Any parties that have significant conflicts of interests are expected to make these
+  conflicts transparent and cast abstention votes.
+
+By the time of re-certification, all exceptions from a previous certification should have been
+eliminated.
