	ND IT - Description of the Standards Process

		Where unable to agree on a "Standard" or "Guideline", a Notre Dame stakeholder team may choose to record a "Statement of Direction", which is the result of their research and work towards establishing what they believe to be viable criteria applicable to upgrading or implementing specific technology..
