 ### Additional favorable criteria for certification
 
 SCS is an open source community project with the goal of enabling digital sovereignty. As such, the commitment and support of this mission should be recognized and promoted beyond technical competence. To this end, the following aspects can be taken into account for certification or compensate for any criteria that are not fully met (see above):
 
-"The implementation partners should work towards ensuring that digital sovereignty is implemented in accordance with the SCS definition (Standards, Open Software, OpenOperations). This is expressed in such a way that, in addition to the technology used to build environments (not necessarily only SCS environments), knowledge and experience in SCS standards compliance (SCS-compatible IaaS and KaaS) is also available and that environments built by this organization have already been configured in accordance with the standards and are listed on the SCS compliance list."

 ### Attestation
 
-The audit for the certification of an implementation partner is carried out by a person appointed by the SCS Standards Forum. The person will assess and, if necessary, obtain evidence from the organization to be certified as to whether and to what extent the criteria have been met.

-If the above criteria are not 100% fulfilled, the certificate can still be issued if 
-    • the company to be certified obtains proof of knowledge through a suitability loan for at least one joint project with an already certified company; the projects must be notified to the Forum in advance and approved by the Forum in advance. 
-    • The company is particularly qualified for this for other reasons. The forum decides on this by simple majority.
-  
-If one of the above criteria is not met, the forum must decide by simple majority whether the certification may be maintained. 
+If one of the above criteria is not met, the forum can be requested to certify the candidate nevertheless. This must be decided by unanimous vote in the forum, two third of all eligble votes must be present.
