The second working group meeting was shorter and more focused than the first. With framework protocols already established, they could concentrate on implementation assessment and refinement.
"How has tiered certification been received in your regions?" Aria asked during the opening session.
Responses varied. Some territories had implemented smoothly. Others encountered resistance from traditional healers who objected to new requirements. A few had modified the protocols to fit local healing traditions while maintaining core standards.
"The western coastal territories added an additional tier," a member named Silas reported. "They work extensively with water related gifts, which have unique pathway structures. They needed specialized certification beyond our standard advanced level."
