ISO Literature Committee Approved indicates review and approval by the Literature Committee (LitCom) for publication by the ISO. These publications are copyrighted by the ISO and carry the SAA logo.
ISO Literature Committee Approved under Concurrent Review/Distribution indicates material that has received initial review by the LitCom and has been released for distribution to members of the fellowship while more in-depth review by the LitCom continues. Typically, these documents have been generated within the ISO and submitted with a request for immediate distribution to meet an urgent need or to provide time-sensitive information.
ISO Conference Approved indicates the added endorsement of the delegates voting at an annual meeting of the ISO Conference. After LitCom approval and publication of a piece, the fellowship-at-large is given an opportunity to offer feedback (usually two years), after which the LitCom may, at its sole discretion, present the piece to the Conference for approval.Article V, Section 9, of the ISO Bylaws stipulates that a two-thirds majority of the voting delegates is required to confer this highest level of approval on a piece of literature.
Outside literature approved for sale designates literature published by entities other than the ISO but approved by the Board of Trustees for sale through the SAA Store. By definition, these publications fall outside the supervisory authority of the LitCom.
