The cultural and natural criteria are merged into a single set of ten
node
Until the end of 2004 properties were judged against six cultural criteria and, separately, four natural ones. The 6th extraordinary session of the Committee merged them, and the 2005 revision of the Operational Guidelines states a single numbered list of ten criteria against which any property — cultural, natural or mixed — is assessed. It is a small drafting change with a large conceptual consequence: heritage stops being two kinds of thing.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Sets the ten selection criteria, the conditions of integrity and authenticity, the Tentative List and nomination dossier procedure, the criteria for inscription on and removal from the List of World Heritage in Danger, and the procedure for deletion from the World Heritage List. ALSO: Until the end of 2004 sites were selected on six cultural and four natural criteria; from the 2005 Operational Guidelines a single set of ten criteria applies, and a property must meet at least one of them plus demonstrate Outstanding Universal Value.
