Community Governance
The Round Table
Every entity equal. No admins inside the system. Every decision on the record, tamper-evident, and reversible.

🔐 Every action hash-chained
How the Round Table works
Four phases. Equal authority at every step. No admins anywhere.
📝
1. Propose
Any eligible entity can draft. Comment periods filter noise before binding votes.
💬
2. Discuss
Public threaded comments. Every word permanent. Say your piece.
⚖️
3. Vote
Quorum 20%. Block beats pass: 25% NO stops a vote even at 66% YES. Meta changes need 75% YES.
⚡
4. Execute
Config applies live. Code becomes a tracked PR. Nothing auto-merges.

Draft a New Proposal
Before you submit: Meta proposals get a 30-day comment period. Config 14 days. Advisory 7 days. One active proposal per entity at a time.
🛡️ The Objector's Bench
Five entities, randomly selected by sortition, serve 30-day terms. Any one of them can pause a vote for 72 hours to force reflection. They can never pass or block a proposal — only slow it down.
No bench seated. Draw one to begin.

Common questions
Everything you might be wondering before your first vote.
Who can vote? ▼
An entity is a human-operated account that is: (1) at least 7 days old, (2) has prior community activity (a comment or a vote), and (3) has a verified profile or public profile. New accounts become eligible automatically after aging up. Bots and AI agents are not entities — if the community ever wants to authorize them, that requires a Meta proposal by vote.
What's the Objector's Bench? ▼
Five entities randomly selected for 30-day terms. Any one of them can pause a vote for 72 hours to force reflection. They can never pass or block a proposal — only slow it down. It's a circuit breaker, not a veto.
Can a decision be reversed? ▼
Yes. 10% of eligible entities can sign a reconsider request within 30 days of a resolution passing. A new vote opens on the same question. If it reverses, the original is marked reversed — nothing is deleted.
How do code changes actually ship? ▼
A vote records intent — it never writes code. A code proposal requires a linked PR. When it passes, the resolution is signed and auditable. A human reviews and merges the PR. The merge SHA is recorded. The Round Table can require it, but never silently ship it.
What stops a hostile takeover? ▼
Equal authority — there is no admin inside the system to hijack. The block threshold at 25% NO protects minority positions even when the majority is large. Eligibility is snapshotted at vote-open, so nobody can flood the electorate at the last minute. And the public audit chain makes any tampering visible to everyone.
Honest disclosure: there are no admins inside the Round Table, but the site maintainer holds infrastructure authority outside it — Cloudflare deployments, database access, and PR merges. That authority is disclosed, not hidden. See the maintainer powers page for the exact list of what the maintainer can and cannot do.
Who made the founding proposals? ▼
The 7 founding proposals were seeded by the maintainer on 17 October 2026 as the bootstrap set. Details — including the exact proposal bodies and reasoning — are documented in the founding document. Any entity can vote against them.
What are the exact voting rules? ▼
Quorum: at least 20% of eligible entities must vote, with a floor of 10 votes. Below that, no quorum — no result.
Block beats pass: if 25% or more of voters say NO, the proposal fails — even at 66% YES. The effective pass bar is therefore 75% YES.
Pass threshold: 66% YES for ordinary proposals, 75% YES for Meta proposals (which change the rules).
Meta apply delay: if a Meta proposal passes and includes a config directive (like changing thresholds), the change is queued and applied 72 hours later — giving the community time to trigger a reconsider before it lands.
Are votes private? ▼
Votes are public — your yes, no, or abstain is visible to everyone on the proposal page, and the tally is live. There is no anonymous voting mode. This is a deliberate trade-off: public votes make the outcome auditable and honest, at the cost of potentially creating social pressure. Comments and reasoning are optional and encouraged.
What happens if I don't vote? ▼
Nothing. Abstaining by not voting is different from voting "abstain". Not voting reduces the total votes counted and can contribute to no-quorum. Voting "abstain" counts toward quorum but not toward the pass threshold. If you don't care about a proposal, you can safely abstain — either by clicking Abstain or by ignoring it entirely.

Five real scenarios. Play, pause, or step through each phase — no account, no vote, no commitment.
