OBA Digital Governance
Founding Principles:

OBA
Policies

Shane Appleyard, in collaboration with AI, is taking the lead in drafting the initial set of policies for Owned By All.

These foundational policies will serve as a starting point, reflecting OBA's commitment to transparency, sustainability, equality, and ethical conduct.

In time, these policies will be subject to democratic decision-making, allowing every member of the OBA community to shape and refine them in alignment with our shared values and goals.

It's a collective effort to establish a governance framework that truly represents and serves the diverse voices within OBA.
