Organizational Mandate & Charter

This meta-model describes the constitutive rules of an organization: charters and statutes, the mandates and powers they confer, the limits they impose, and the accountability duties they create. It is its own model because constitutive rules outlive officeholders and structures, change by their own formal procedures, and are cited by units, contracts and oversight independently of day-to-day organizational data.

Bundles and layers

Bundle

constitution

The instrument itself and how it changes

Layers

foundingInstrument`: charter or statute text and its adoption · `amendment`: revisions, consolidation and the amendment procedure

Bundle

powers

What the instrument permits

Layers

mandateGrant`: mandates and powers conferred on bodies and roles · `limits`: restrictions, reserved matters and required approvals

Bundle

accountability

To whom the organization answers

Layers

oversight`: bodies to which duties are owed and their scope · `dischargeRecord`: reports filed, reviews held, duties met

Findings

Catalogue-native findings must describe the information grouped by each layer. This legacy version does not declare them separately.

Questions & artifacts

Questions, artifact requirements and serial naming rules are required by Vercy vNext; they remain unassigned in this reference version.

How this specification operates

Dimension & namespace

  • REFERENCE `world.organization` (O1): the constituted organization and any overseeing bodies.
  • REFERENCE `world.organizationalUnit` (O2): delegations land on units and their mandates.
  • REFERENCE `world.employment` (O3): delegations may attach to role assignments.
  • REFERENCE `world.commercialContract` (O5): counterparties verify powers here before executing agreements there.
  • REFERENCE `world.publicRegister` (A12): charters of public bodies are published in public registers.
  • REFERENCE `world.disputeResolution` (A19): contests over powers and their limits are heard there.
  • REFERENCE `world.stewardship` (S1) and `world.accessGrant` (S2): ownership and access grants over charter records.
  • MIX-IN `world.auditTrail` (S4): audit facets on adoption, amendment and delegation events.
  • imports: legal-templates (COMPOSE): model clause and instrument structures reused in founding instruments.
  • imports: akoma-ntoso (ALIGN): machine-readable legal document structure for provisions and citations.

Artifact formats & serial data

Format-independent core. Concrete artifact formats and naming prefixes are not declared in this legacy version.

Policies & accepted processes

  • `charterPublication`: public or member access to the current consolidated text.
  • `dueDiligenceAccess`: counterparty access to powers and limits before entering an agreement.
  • `oversightFiling`: periodic submission of discharge records to the overseeing body, standard for public bodies.

Read / add / edit / delete

CRUD procedures and interface bindings are not declared in this legacy version.

Ownership, roles & access

The organization owns its charter record; for public bodies an oversight body additionally holds a registrar-style copy. Access is granted by the owner under the S1/S2 models of this catalogue.

Objects, relationships, events and projections

Objects

  • `charter`: the constitutive instrument; key attributes: title, adoption date, jurisdiction, consolidation state.
  • `charterProvision`: an addressable clause of the instrument; key attributes: citation path, text, in-force period.
  • `mandate`: a purposeful assignment of responsibility; key attributes: subject matter, holder reference, validity.
  • `power`: a specific authorization to act; key attributes: action class, conditions, financial or scope ceilings.
  • `delegation`: a passing of power downward; key attributes: source power, recipient reference, constraints, validity.
  • `accountabilityDuty`: an obligation to report or submit to review; key attributes: duty kind, cadence, addressee reference.
  • `amendmentAct`: a formal change to the instrument; key attributes: decision reference, affected provisions, effective date.

Relationships

  • `charter` -> constitutes -> `world.organization` (1:1): the organization (O1) this instrument brings into being and governs.
  • `mandate` -> conferredBy -> `charter` (n:1): every mandate traces to the instrument.
  • `power` -> boundedBy -> `charterProvision` (n:m): the clauses that condition and limit a power.
  • `delegation` -> passes -> `power` (n:1): the power being delegated to a unit (O2) or role assignment (O3).
  • `accountabilityDuty` -> owedTo -> `world.organization` (n:1): the overseeing body, an organization in O1, including public bodies.
  • `amendmentAct` -> revises -> `charter` (n:1): the change history of the instrument.

Events

  • `charterAdopted`: a constitutive instrument was adopted.
  • `charterAmended`: provisions were revised by the prescribed procedure.
  • `mandateConferred`: a mandate was granted to a body or role.
  • `mandateRevoked`: a mandate was withdrawn.
  • `powerDelegated`: a power was passed downward with constraints.
  • `dutyDischarged`: an accountability duty was met, for example a report was filed.

Projections

  • `currentConsolidatedCharter`: the text as amended to date; omits drafting history and rejected amendments.
  • `powersMatrix`: who may bind the organization, for what, within which limits; omits narrative provisions.
  • `oversightLedger`: duties owed, addressees, cadence and discharge status; omits instrument text.
