Hi Italo,

I'm just in the process of going through the accreditation process and
organising a preparatory meeting. Once we get this part under way we can
look at other complementary certification. One of the reasons for the
preparatory meeting is that we can apply for EU money to support market
research, for example. 

We still need community members to come forward. We don't have any
representation at the moment from France, Italy, Scandinavia or Poland
and these are big populations with a lot of potential.
