9. Qualification of OIF:
The OIF was recognized under the provisions of ITU-T Recommendation A.5 on 26 February 2002. Qualifying information is on file with TSB.
9.7     The OIF is responsible for ongoing maintenance of its Implementation Agreements when the need arises. Comments on those documents, reflecting implementation experience, may be captured in Implementation Tip Sheets or in clearly identified new versions of the Specifications that are posted on the public web site of The OIF. The procedures for withdrawal of Specifications are documented in the Membership Guidelines of The OIF.
9.8     Each Implementation Agreement has a different identification number, so no confusion is possible. All approved documents always remain available on-line. An index of the approved documents may be found on the public web site of The OIF at http://www.oiforum.com/public/implemen_agreemt.html
