12 months ago I've created documents for each requirement, containing CoreTrustSeal's detailed guidelines, in https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1zEItXVEikj9XtJtKK3S7iYdUipgzxXTy
I've gone through each and added a short outline of what should be included in a response (in some cases this is currently more questions than answers!)
The next step is to get together groups from Dryad to hammer out the responses and in some cases, new supporting materials. This may be a different set of people for each requirement. Some of these requirements may be difficult to answer fully depending on transition planning (R14-R16), require the development of public policies or documentation for Dryad (R03, R09, R11), or responses could be improved with development work for which there are currently open tickets (R07, R12)
Gather responses to demonstrate how Dryad meets CoreTrustSeal requirements
