Risk, Continuity, and Succession

Succession Planning Policy

Succession planning shall distinguish temporary absence, temporary inability, emergency unavailability, resignation, death, vacancy, permanent incapacity, and formal governance-stage transition. Temporary continuity uses documented, limited acting authority, handover records, credential access, and knowledge continuity; it does not establish permanent incapacity, terminate Founder-led governance, remove Founder status, or trigger permanent transition. Permanent incapacity requires the future approved objective and disinterested process mandated by the Constitution and Bylaws. Exact evidence, medical standards, decision-maker, notice, response, and extraordinary-accountability interaction remain unresolved pending Legal and Product Owner review.
