Policy Lifecycle Policy
Policy Text
32. Policy Lifecycle Policy
Policies shall move through controlled drafting, review, stage-specific approval, legal verification where triggered, actual effective dating if approved, publication readiness, revision, supersession, and archive. During Founder-led governance the Board approves major policies governing reserved areas while Founder/Chair or designee may maintain ordinary operational procedures within authority; after transition the Board approves major governance policies. No policy may amend higher documents, eliminate Founder protections, change voting thresholds or terms, create reserved powers, or acquire authority through website publication or practice.
