Recognition Review

From time to time the ASC may elect to review whether a recognised NSO/NSOD still complies with the recognition criteria or with the obligations under its recognition agreement. The ASC maintains a right under the recognition agreements with NSO/NSODs to withdraw recognition at any time, including, but not limited to, circumstances where an organisation is in breach of its recognition agreement.

A recognised NSO/NSOD is required under its recognition agreement to advise the ASC of any matter that might affect its entitlement to recognition, following which the ASC may initiate a review as to whether to withdraw its recognition.

An organisation that ceases to be recognised as an NSO/NSOD may re-apply for recognition. Organisations that reapply are expected to satisfy each part of all recognition criteria. The ASC may also request further information which addresses any known issues relating to an applicant organisation (such as the reasons for withdrawal of past recognition).
