Governance

Our current governance is made up as follows. Ultimate power resides in the Board, which elects the President for ordinary activities.

An Interim Secretariat, under revision and expansion, will in the future acquire ever more steering power. Team and Advisors respond to the President.

On July 1st, 2024 the Coalition was convened by the Trustless Computing Association (lead by Rufo guerreschi), then Informally established on September 10th, 2024, by six founding NGO Partners via a joint announcement and a partnership agreement (pdf), and then launched on December 18th, 2024, with a 90-page collabroative paper, a videos and an open call.

Following $60,000 funding from the Survival and Flourishing Fund in February 2025, it was established as a legal Italian non-profit (of the type “ente del terzo settore”) on March 20th, 2025, with a Tax/Org ID number (codice fiscale) 96624000582, with legal headquarters in Largo dell'Olgiata 15, Isola 13-5d, 00123, Rome, Italy. 

Until March 20th, 2025, the Coalition was governed by an Interim Secretariat composed of the six founding partner organizations and initiatives, which met weekly for strategy meetings. It was run exclusively on volunteer work, with over 1500 hours of volunteer work contributed by partners and advisors.

Since that date, the Coalition has been legally governed by the three members of the Board of Directors of the Italian non-profit organization, as required by Italian law, which stipulates that they must be at least three Italian citizens holding an Italian "codice fiscale".

Over the following weeks and months, we'll be engaging with th founding partner, other organziations that have applied to join, and other selected leading NGOs and individuals to re-create a open, plural and globally diverse governance for the Coalition, made of up of organizational partners and indivuals that are solidly committedd for the long term.

Rufo Guerreschi leads daily activities in his role as President, leading a small Team and over 20 distinguished Advisors, all of whom are professionals generously contributing their time on a volunteer basis.
