Macro cycle two retrospective analysis drawing on international faculty feedback (12 international faculty from 11 countries participated overall). Examples such as committees and peer review were added to the standard description, and the standard was named Contributor as a more recognizable term.

"The word "service" is well recognized in countries, such as the USA and Canada, but is not recognized as clearly in the UK, France, and Japan. This is important as these international standards should be comprehensible to faculty across the world."
