Governing bodies and responsibilities
The audit body intervenes when required by law, the statutes or a decision of the Assembly. The distribution of functions does not divide the association’s legal personality.
| Body | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| General Assembly | Adopts and amends the statutes, elects the Council and approves the annual report, accounts, roadmap and general budget as provided for in the statutes. |
| Council of the Society | Constitutes the association’s committee. It distributes the functions of direction or presidency, secretariat and financial responsibility. |
| Circles | Pursue their purpose within the Society, with responsibilities and autonomy defined by the statutes, their charter and applicable mandates. |
Common principles
The common constitutional core includes legality, human dignity, equal treatment, non-discrimination, freedom of conscience and research, democratic and non-arbitrary governance, transparency and the right to be informed and heard.
It also includes good faith, accuracy of institutional representation and evidence, disclosure of conflicts of interest, protection of assets, data and rights, and respect for the autonomy of circles.
Heritage, provenance and rights
The Society documents the contributions, heritage and capabilities it receives or administers, together with their provenance, ownership, conditions of use and stewardship responsibility.
Preservation does not imply exclusive representation of cultures, territories or communities. Responsibilities are limited to the assets, rights and practices validly entrusted to the Society.
Information and enquiries
Enquiries about institutional documents, governance, representation or use of materials may be addressed to the Society. Relationships with independent entities in the ecosystem retain their respective responsibilities.
