CTF-ICF — status
Current status: working-draft Pathway: community-led Last updated: 2026-04
Status definition
working-draft — A community member is producing the declination from the federation’s normative documents. The work is public and any feedback is welcome. The declination has not been reviewed or endorsed by the International Coaching Federation.
Platforms may implement a declination at working-draft status, provided they explicitly state this provisional status in their self-declaration. This is a contribution to the maturation of the declination, not a substitute for federation endorsement.
For the full status taxonomy of CTF declinations, see ../README.md.
History
| Date | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-04 | working-draft | Initial setup. EGG (reference implementer) has working ICF-aligned layers covering domains A-F. Full compliance mapping produced (Basic on all domains, Advanced on A.1, A.2, C.6, C.7). CTF Translator to generate structured declination next. |
Path to endorsement
The declination will be submitted to the International Coaching Federation for review once:
- The full mapping of the ICF AI Coaching Framework and Standards V1.01 onto CTF’s structure is complete.
- The declination has been used by at least one platform implementation in good-faith working-draft mode, with feedback documented in
../../validation/evidence-log.md. - The community pathway documented in
../../certification-scheme/community-pathway.mdhas been followed in full.
