Governance Framework

Overview

The Governance Framework represents the foundational rules and processes that govern the WILL system and its evolution into SKENAI. It ensures systematic, transparent, and effective decision-making while maintaining system integrity and community participation.

Core Principles

1. Systematic Evolution

  • Controlled system changes
  • Version-tracked updates
  • Backward compatibility
  • Forward compatibility planning
  • Migration path documentation

2. Quality Assurance

  • Multi-stage validation
  • Automated testing
  • Peer review processes
  • Security auditing
  • Performance benchmarking

3. Community Participation

  • Open proposal system
  • Transparent decision-making
  • Community feedback loops
  • Contributor recognition
  • Collaborative development

4. Security First

  • OMEGA_BLACK protocols
  • Access control systems
  • Audit logging
  • Threat monitoring
  • Incident response

  • Detailed validation
  • Quality assessment
  • Security protocols
  • Technical review
  • Community feedback

3. Stage 3 (SKENAI-R)

[Staging] → [Final Check] → [Production]
