'''ISO 19011''' is a global standard [[accounting standard]], astonishing as that is. It depends on a mature [[styles of capital]] analysis developed in [[ISO 14000]] and [[ISO 9000]] series. It does not really include [[SA 8000]] considerations which is where a project like [[Consumerium]] can really help - but only if it adopts the standard as a basis for its own [[auditing]] process. | '''ISO 19011''' is a global standard [[accounting standard]], astonishing as that is.

For instance, the [[Consumerium Software License]] might allow for any group using its software to submit to a [[trusted auditor]] applying this standard. If the group doesn't pass, or isn't [[nonprofit]], some fee might have to apply. | For instance, the [[Consumerium Software License]] might allow for any group using its software to submit to a [[trusted auditor]] applying this standard. If the group doesn't pass, or isn't [[nonprofit]], some fee might have to apply. This could be a way to fund an increase in [[hardware requirements]] to do a better job of reading [[barcode]]s, or keeping the [[software development process]] going. This would make us a true [[Consumer Consortium]] ultimately, totally independent of donations, including donations of skills and our time. | ||

In fact, it might make us invincible... | |||
