For those not familiar with the Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards, we are an Australian based, globally recognized NOT FOR PROFIT professional organization, http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/about-us.html dedicated to creating COMPETENCY standards for project http://www.globalpmstandards.org/index.php/project-manager-standards/download-latest-update.html and program managers which are INDEPENDENT of any single body of knowledge, methodology or organization.
We have also made these standards available to the public domain for countries like India, China, and Indonesia. under ?open source? under?open source? or?creative Commons? License, which means that anyone can download them and use them at no cost.
