What is the Difference Between the Nominated Exceptional Condidate (NEC) and the Exceptional Candidate?
The process involved in determining these two designations is markedly different. Two ADTRs nominate the NEC. In contrast, the Credentials Committee identifies exceptional applicants based on their applications for registry. An individual cannot apply as an Exceptional Candidate. The Exceptional Applicant clause is initiated and processed only at the discretion of Credentials Committee members. Such an applicant must far exceed the usual standards to be deemed exceptional.
