 It is expected that a project satisfies the majority of the criteria outlined above; however, it is also possible for a project to obtain a waiver for specific criteria. It is the responsibility of the Project Committee to collate the project information, perform an evaluation, and make recommendations on a project's eligibility to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the right to approve or deny a project's eligibility. Projects will also be re-evaluated periodically to ensure they continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements.

 There are no specific metrics levels or calculations which have been defined to judge the health of a project. Rather, the Project Committee utilizes the various metrics to make a relative determination of whether a project meets the health requirements. The Project Committee makes recommendations on a project's health to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the right to approve or deny a project's health. Metrics will be gathered each month by the Project Committee so that trends can be analyzed to determine the ongoing vitality of a project.
