There is a need for regular (2-3 year) updates of the e-CF. Updates consist of maintenance activities, such as word changes to clarify meanings or incorporate additional examples, borne out of experience, that are incorporated with minimum impact to adopters of earlier e-CF versions.Where new framework content is required, it is added to the already existing framework, for instance as a new competence. The principle adopted here is to keep deletions from the framework to the relevant minimum, even if some material may become redundant. Users are therefore not forced into using the latest version but can opt to do so as required.
