CRT does not currently require documentary proof of professional experience at the application stage. A declaration is sufficient. CRT reserves the right to request supporting information where the application raises questions.

Review and decision

Applications are reviewed by the founder during the founding stage. Once governance is established, applications will be reviewed by the Membership Committee. Decisions will be communicated in writing within 10 working days of a complete application being received.

CRT reserves the right to decline applications without giving detailed reasons during the founding stage, consistent with the eligibility framework. Declined applicants may reapply after a period of 6 months, or earlier if the circumstances that led to the decline have changed.
