Home What is EARB When to come to EARB EARB Process Forward Agenda Past Sessions Record of Decisions


What do I do first?


1. Conduct a self-assessment of your initiative against the “Criteria” to determine if you should be presenting to the GC EARB.

IF so, complete the GC EARB Template

2. Ensure that all proposals submitted for review to GC EARB have first been assessed by your DARB (Departmental Architecture Review Board) where one has been established.

3. Ensure your departmental initiatives are assessed against and align to the requirements set out as the GC Architectural Standards.
