The International Mediation Institute (IMI) has convened an Independent Standards Commission to determine the standards, criteria and guidelines which together will make up the IMI global mediator competency certification system.

IMI has posted for international comment first drafts of the standards which can be reviewed and downloaded from the IMI web site. These drafts combine into a competency system that IMI hopes will work internationally. IMI highly values the input of professionals in the field and has established a comment period of 6 weeks to 2 months. The Commission will then convene to review the details in the light of comments received.

If you wish to provide the IMI with your input, please visit IMI online.
