Founders and Mission Amendment 2026-10-23 v4
Changes from Version 3. Review draft; not adopted.

Independent acceptance
Council approval, certification, publication and effectiveness do not depend on either founder accepting service. Each founder must separately accept the applicable commitments before personally beginning advisory participation.

Temporary restrictions and emergencies
Ordinary temporary restrictions require prior notice, at least ten days to respond, a recorded majority of all eligible seats and Charter quorum. Emergency measures require two disinterested seated members, notice within two days and Council review within seven days.

Fixed end dates
Temporary restrictions expire within 30 days of initial imposition. One extension of up to 30 days requires two-thirds approval and written necessity findings. The same facts cannot be recycled to create an indefinite suspension.

Reconsideration and evidence
Temporary-measure reconsideration has a 15-day response limit and never extends expiry. Permanent removal retains the two-thirds threshold and 60-day request/review windows, with clearer response, evidence and conflict safeguards.

Factual corrections and attribution
Documented editorial corrections to spelling, dates, biographies and links are permitted when they do not diminish founder attribution or protected rights. Altering founder attribution retains the stronger safeguards.

Protected procedures
Clarifies that Section 5 protects changes to written safeguards; it does not require a separate 75% amendment vote for an individual conduct decision made under Section 6.

Adoption and complete review
States the initial adoption threshold and full seven-day ballot, explicit effectiveness at separately authorized publication, independent acceptance, preservation of prior versions and a consolidated Council feedback/disposition step.

Council review: read the complete text, submit one consolidated response, disclose conflicts, and record the disposition of substantive points. Confirm applicable current notice and Charter requirements before opening the fresh seven-day ballot. Silence is not approval. Individual founder acceptances do not condition Council adoption or effectiveness.
