Amending the Constitution
Section titled “Amending the Constitution”This is a living document designed to evolve with the community. All amendments must follow the formal, transparent process outlined in the Constitution GitHub repository.
The process involves three key steps:
- Public Discussion: An idea is first discussed on our community forum to gather feedback and refine the proposal.
- Pull Request: The specific changes are codified in a Pull Request, which serves as the technical specification for the amendment.
- Formal Proposal: The change is proposed on via a Formal Proposal which links to both the forum discussion and the Pull Request. The PR is only merged after the proposal has been successfully passed by the community.
