Key governance rules (summary)

Member sovereignty

Registered members in good standing hold decision authority under one member, one vote.

Non-speculative funding

Membership fees and contributions are civic; they do not create financial return or additional votes.

Independent safeguards

Audit, ethics/COI, whistleblowing protections, and public reporting are built into the design.
