Guarantees / the promises

A small number of promises that hold everywhere.

The guarantees are public. The methods used to enforce them are public. The records used to verify them stay open to inspection. They apply to every project, in every place.

01

The land and the people.

01

Development stays within the carrying capacity of the land.

02

Communities keep authority over what is built within them.

03

Culture stays with the people who create and sustain it.

02

The record.

04

Contributions are recorded.

05

Funds move against verified proof.

06

Project records remain auditable.

03

In the open.

07

The guarantees are public.

08

The methods used to enforce them are public.

09

The records used to verify them stay open to inspection.

Funding is for the work only. Funders do not get a say in decisions. The community decides. This principle sits beneath every guarantee.
