The charter is the mechanism behind the accountability commitment — composition, compensation, authority, and the protections that make dissent safe.

Charter status

The formal charter is being ratified with the founding advisory board. It will be published here in full before any paid public launch. The sections below describe what the charter covers.

Composition

Who serves, and how they are selected

The charter sets the board's composition: disabled accessibility practitioners — certified specialists, advocates, and researchers — and the process by which members are nominated and seated.

It defines a minimum board size and the requirement that the board is majority disabled practitioners, so the accountability is real and not symbolic.

Compensation

How members are paid

The charter records that board members are compensated with a monthly retainer and equity. Compensation is a charter commitment, not a discretionary line item, so it cannot quietly disappear under budget pressure.

Authority

Veto authority and its scope

The charter defines the board's veto authority over product features and marketing claims: what is in scope for veto, how a veto is exercised, and the record kept when one is.

It also defines the board's role as the appeal body for refused-use-case decisions, so refusals are applied fairly rather than negotiated by sales.

Dissent and terms

Protected dissent, and term limits

The charter protects dissent: the right of a member to disagree on the record, and the requirement that disagreement is documented rather than suppressed. A board that cannot safely dissent is not an accountability mechanism.

It sets term limits and a renewal process, so the board stays independent and does not calcify.

Appeals

The appeal process

The charter defines how a refused-use-case decision, or a contested product or marketing claim, is appealed to the board, and the timeline for a response.

Until the charter is published in full, these commitments stand as stated here and are binding on the product.
