defining enforceable rules that guide `status-go` contributions. Policies
|

are not merely guidelines but are to be respected and adhered to, ensuring
|

alignment across contributors.
|

|
||||
## 1. Inclusivity
|
||||
## Upholding Policies Through Consensus
|
||||
|
||||
### Collective Agreement
|
||||
|
||||
The enforceability of policies stems not from the authority of any
|
||||
single individual or group but from the collective agreement and shared
|
||||
commitment of all `status-go` contributors. Policies are not imposed
|
||||
unilaterally but are the result of transparent discussions and explicit
|
||||
recorded approval from key stakeholders. This includes team leads,
|
||||
members of the @status-im/status-go-guild GitHub team, and other
|
||||
relevant contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Shared Responsibility
|
||||
|
||||
Respecting and adhering to policies is a shared responsibility
|
||||
that reflects the values and goals of `status-go` contributors. Approved
|
||||
policies are not merely recommendations but agreed-upon standards,
|
||||
created through mutual understanding and collaboration, that guide
|
||||
how we work together and contribute to the project.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mutual Enforcement through Alignment
|
||||
|
||||
The power of enforcement does not rest with any one authority; it
|
||||
arises from the collective commitment of all contributors to uphold
|
||||
policies that have been collaboratively crafted and agreed upon. This
|
||||
ensures that policies are respected not out of obligation but because
|
||||
they represent the shared vision and trust of the contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fostering Alignment
|
||||
|
||||
Policies are designed to ensure consistency, fairness, and alignment
|
||||
across the teams, creating a framework that supports effective
|
||||
collaboration and decision-making. By honouring the principles of
|
||||
inclusivity and consensus, we strengthen trust and accountability
|
||||
within all contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
By grounding our policies in transparency, mutual respect, and collective
|
||||
ownership, the `status-go` project ensures they are both enforceable and
|
||||
reflective of the shared goals of all contributors.
|
||||
|
||||

## 4. Enforceability and Respect for Policies
|

|

- **Key stakeholder approval**: The guild does not have unilateral
|
||||
enforcement power. Instead, policies require explicit recorded
|
||||
approval from all key stakeholders before becoming enforceable. This
|
||||
includes team leads, members of the @status-im/status-go-guild

GitHub team, and other relevant parties.
|

- **Respect and adherence**: Policies are not optional guidelines.
|

Once approved, they are enforceable rules that all contributors to
|

the status-go project are expected to respect. This ensures consistency,
|
||||
fairness, and alignment with all contributors' shared goals.
|
||||
|
||||
By adhering to these foundational principles, status-go policies
|
||||
create a framework that balances inclusivity, transparency, and
|
||||
consensus with the need for enforceable and respected policies.
