				|  |  |  |  | One of the basic documents of the Compliance Work Group is the OpenPOWER Architecture Compliance Definition  | 
		
	
		
			
				|  |  |  |  | Work Group Specification.  The purpose of this document is to give a consistent approach to compliance under  | 
		
	
		
			
				|  |  |  |  | the guidance of the Compliance Work Group. The current version of the document is based on the  |

				|  |  |  |  | It is expected that the document be updated this year by the Compliance Work Group to include the additional  |
