IASAC

High-level institutional and governmental forum for Calibre.

Forum

Convening and dialogue mechanism, not a governing body.

Invited participation

Participation is drawn according to relevance, perspective and the matter under consideration.

IOWL stewardship

Forum participation does not transfer ownership or authority over Calibre.

International Assembly for Strategic Advocacy & Collaboration

IASAC provides a high-level forum through which institutional and governmental stakeholders can consider the implications, recognition and application of Calibre across education, employability, productivity, integrity, professional life, public service, organisational performance and wider society.

Participation: Participation is by invitation or accepted nomination. Participants may attend in a personal or expressly nominated institutional capacity. Attendance or contribution does not of itself mean that the participant's organisation endorses IOWL or has entered a formal partnership.

What this forum does not do

It does not govern IOWL, define Calibre independently of IOWL, control curriculum or assessment, award Calibre Credits, accredit IOWL, create joint ownership of IOWL intellectual property, or authorise participants to speak for IOWL.

Terms of participation

The IASAC is an established part of IOWL's international advisory and forum architecture.

Purpose

IASAC provides a high-level forum through which institutional and governmental stakeholders can consider the implications, recognition and application of Calibre across education, employability, productivity, integrity, professional life, public service, organisational performance and wider society.

Who participates

Governments, ministries, international and supranational organisations, employers and employer bodies, professional bodies, standards organisations, education systems, civil society, public-service institutions and other strategically relevant organisations or leaders.

Authority

Views, dialogue and outputs are advisory or deliberative. IOWL retains executive, standards, curriculum, recognition, awarding and intellectual-property authority.

1. Status

The International Assembly for Strategic Advocacy & Collaboration (IASAC) is an established IOWL convening mechanism. It is not a statutory, executive or governing body and participation does not of itself establish a partnership, accreditation or endorsement relationship.

2. Scope

Strategic advocacy within IASAC concerns informed consideration of the case for recognising Calibre as a distinct dimension alongside Capability and Competency, and the practical implications of doing so. Advocacy does not authorise participants to speak for IOWL. Collaboration may identify areas of shared interest, but formal partnership, recognition, MoU, accreditation or other institutional status arises only through separate explicit agreement.

3. Participation

Participation is by invitation or accepted nomination. Participants may attend in a personal or expressly nominated institutional capacity. Attendance or contribution does not of itself mean that the participant's organisation endorses IOWL or has entered a formal partnership. Participation may be personal or, where expressly agreed, on behalf of an organisation. Organisational participation is limited to the particular convening or relationship described and does not imply a wider institutional endorsement.

4. Convening

The IASAC is convened according to relevance and need. IOWL determines the agenda, format, participation and whether a discussion or output is public, attributable, non-attributable or confidential.

5. Outputs

IOWL may publish summaries, dialogue papers, observations or other outputs where appropriate. Unless expressly agreed in writing, participation does not make every participant a co-author and does not imply endorsement of the final IOWL position.

6. Confidentiality and intellectual property

Participants must respect confidentiality markings and restrictions. Access to IOWL material does not grant rights to reproduce, adapt, commercialise, license or create derivative competing frameworks. Specific collaborative outputs may be governed by separate written terms.

7. Conduct and conflicts

Participants are expected to engage constructively and disclose material conflicts relevant to the matter under discussion. IOWL may limit or end participation where necessary to protect the integrity of the convening, its mission, confidentiality or intellectual property.

8. Speaking and representation

Participation does not authorise a person or organisation to speak for IOWL, commit IOWL, confer recognition, award Calibre Credits or represent a forum discussion as IOWL policy unless expressly authorised.
