What would you recommend when beginning the standard setting process?

"Make contact with other PEFC members who share basic common interests such as: region, similar forest types, social, cultural and economic characteristics and/or a common language. Having their guidance and learning from their experiences was key to the Cerfoar development."

"Very early on in the standard setting process, start contacting stakeholders and actively building their interest and involvement in the process. Their participation is not only required during the development phase but also once the System is ready for implementation, so build strong channels of communication and opportunities for active engagement."
