Governance

Principles, accountability, and roadmap toward an independent cultural NGO/foundation
Program → Independent NGO (future)

Status

SMCLRD currently operates as a program under SMRA. This page outlines governance principles and a roadmap for a potential future transition into an independently registered cultural NGO or foundation.

Principles

  • Public benefit: education, cultural preservation, language revitalization
  • Accuracy & integrity: citation-ready resources, clear sourcing, careful wording
  • Non-partisan and non-governmental: educational and informational only
  • Privacy & safety: minimize data collection; protect contributors where needed
  • Open infrastructure: build systems that can be maintained and extended over time

Accountability

SMCLRD emphasizes documentation quality, reproducible processes, and measurable outputs.

  • Outputs: public pages, standards, tools, learning resources
  • Quality control: review workflows, versioned updates, clear revisions
  • Reporting: periodic updates and public summaries
  • Transparency: funding disclosures and conflict-of-interest guidance (as applicable)

Roadmap: program → independent NGO/foundation

A staged transition protects continuity and quality. Typical pathway:

Phase 1 — Program maturity

Phase 2 — Governance scaffolding

Phase 3 — Legal registration (future)

Phase 4 — Scaled operations

Platform relationship (execution)

SMCLRD defines strategy and public-benefit goals, while the mongol.world ecosystem serves as an execution environment for real-world usage and measurable impact.
