This is the part I'm curious about. I have not seen anything this specific in print before.

The “Process Approach” will be fully enforced!

Because the “process approach” was new to quality management systems in ISO 9001:2000, and was so different than the previous procedural and element or clause based approach prevalent in industry prior to 2000, many organizations have flawed implementations of the process approach. Now with many years of experience with the process approach, and diligent oversight by ANAB and other accreditation bodies, the process approach is more fully and consistently understood the registrars and their auditors. There are still some legacy implementations of the process approach which do not completely and effectively implement what is now considered basic essentials of a quality management system. In my opinion registrars and their auditors will use the transition to ISO 9001:2000 to enforce these basics of the process approach on all organizations that are registered.
