SNN collaborates to strengthen public evidence, implementation capability and institutional understanding, not to manufacture endorsement.
A governed route from shared question to public record.
Research institutions, standard setters, public bodies, professional organizations and qualified enterprises may propose work that has a clear public-knowledge purpose.
Eligible work can include public consultations, research exchange, standards and taxonomy mapping, implementation studies, technical companions, institutional dialogues, evidence registries and jointly labelled educational material.
Every proposal is reviewed for relevance, source access, rights, conflicts, governance, editorial independence and the public value of the expected output before work begins.
Four pathways with distinct controls.
The label and approval route depend on what each institution contributes and who controls the final publication.
Research exchange
Shared evidence questions, datasets or technical review. Findings remain attributable and methods remain inspectable.
Public participation
Consultation responses, comment letters and technical appendices retained with submission status and supporting records.
Institutional dialogue
Structured discussion on interoperability, implementation or governance without implying a negotiated institutional position.
Partner-labelled publication
A visibly labelled output stating participants, contributions, funding, editorial control, rights and non-endorsement boundaries.
Accurate relationship language is mandatory.
The following relationship types are recorded within the EMJ.LIFE knowledge infrastructure and must not be described beyond their documented scope.
IFRS Foundation · ISSB and SASB
Level III commercial licensing is a content-use relationship. It does not indicate IFRS Foundation review, certification, endorsement or partnership with SNN.
TNFD Forum
Forum membership indicates participation in the forum community within its applicable terms. It does not make SNN or EMJ.LIFE a TNFD representative or endorsed interpreter.
TISFD Alliance
Alliance membership indicates participation in the relevant community. It does not imply adoption of SNN analysis, approval of its publications or delegated authority.
What must be agreed before collaboration begins.
A collaboration is not publishable until responsibility and rights are explicit.
The question, intended audience, deliverables and exclusions.
Who supplies evidence, reviews facts, controls analysis and approves release.
Cash, in-kind support, licenses, memberships and other material relationships.
Permitted use of documents, data, logos, figures, quotations and trademarks.
Editorial, enterprise, sponsored or partner-labelled treatment displayed to readers.
Correction, replacement, withdrawal, retention and public-record responsibilities.
A credible proposal starts with the evidence question.
Organizations should define the public issue, available primary records, expected contribution, material interests, rights position and proposed output. Access, funding or institutional profile does not guarantee acceptance or editorial coverage.
