Founders and Mission Amendment 2026-10-23 v3
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES FROM VERSION 2
Council review draft; not adopted.

Meaning of material change
Defines changes to meaning, application or intent, including procedures that substantially defeat protected safeguards.

Timely discussion
Next regular meeting ordinarily; no later than the second regular meeting and 90 days. One documented extension of up to 30 days requires disinterested Council approval.

Reasoned responses
Requires reasons, a response within 30 days after discussion, and a defined investigation path ending within 60 days.

Baseline governance access
Same regular and special meeting notices, agendas, approved minutes and nonprivileged governance materials, with specific conflict, privilege, privacy and legal exceptions recorded.

Narrower interference standard
Protects good-faith disagreement and criticism while identifying improper interference with protected processes.

Removal and reconsideration
Written findings and a 60-day window to request reconsideration, a reasoned review, conflict safeguards and no silent rejection.

Recusal balance
Requires recusal for direct personal benefits to either or both founders; general mission effects alone do not create blanket exclusion.

Advisory body continuity
Body becomes inactive when neither founder participates; mission protections and historical attribution continue without inherited founder rights.

Historical recognition
Separates founder attribution from active service and protects against political erasure while providing a documented correction process.

Fresh review and vote
Separate Version 3, recorded review and applicable notice completion, new seven-day ballot, no carried-over votes, certification and separate publication.

Unchanged safeguards
No additional seat, vote, veto, automatic appointment, unrestricted confidential access or corporate ownership interest. Initial voting thresholds are unchanged.
