Clause 9 establishes transparency and communication. Per public IEEE 7000-2021 abstract + Wikipedia + academic literature (full IEEE text NOT reproduced): transparency throughout VBE process + transparency artifacts including: system documentation (purpose + scope + values + stakeholders + risks + design rationale + verification) + decision logs + value trade-off documentation + ethical requirement traceability + risk treatment evidence + validation evidence; communication to stakeholders + users + regulators + civil society in plain language adapted to audience. Process Documentation: VBE artifacts + meeting minutes + workshop outputs + ethical review board records + change history + version control. External Review and Assurance: independent ethics review + ethics board + community advisory board + academic review + third-party audit + certification per emerging standards (ISO/IEC 42001 + IEEE 7000 conformance + UK AI Safety Institute + Singapore AI Verify + EU AI Act conformity assessment + NIST CSF AI extension); social licence to operate + stakeholder feedback. AI system documentation requirements per EU AI Act Annex IV + NIST AI RMF GOVERN + Hugging Face Model Cards + Google Data Cards + Datasheets for Datasets + Model Cards for Model Reporting + IBM FactSheets; algorithmic transparency measures including: model explanations + feature importance + SHAP + LIME + counterfactual explanations + decision rules + Layer-wise Relevance Propagation; explainability requirements for high-risk AI per EU AI Act + GDPR Article 22 + automated decision-making rights; user notification of AI interactions per EU AI Act Article 50 + provenance + watermarking (C2PA Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity + SynthID); third-party AI audit requirements + AI assurance ecosystem + AAR Algorithmic Audit Report. Regulatory compliance for AI: EU AI Act + EU GDPR + EU DSA + EU DMA + EU CRA + UK AI Bill + China AI Regulation + US AI Executive Order + State AI laws (Colorado AI Act + New York AI Bias Audit). Coordinates with EU AI Act + NIST AI RMF + ISO/IEC 42001 + Hugging Face + Google + Datasheets for Datasets + Model Cards + IBM FactSheets + C2PA + SynthID + assurance ecosystem. IEEE 7000 Transparency applies.
