8+
9+

10+
11+
## Voting Options
12+
13+
| Option | Description |
14+
|--------|-------------|
15+
| **Option 0** | **Yes** — Approve the Governance & Funding Framework as documented |
16+
| **Option 1** | **No** — Reject the framework; maintain current state |
17+
18+
---
19+
20+
## Summary
21+
22+
This proposal asks Computors to approve a comprehensive governance and funding framework that establishes:
23+
- Clear structural roles, mandates, and reporting lines for all ecosystem entities
24+
- Strict separation between three funds (CCF, Incubation Fund, Listing Fund)
25+
- Independent financial oversight through a Finance Auditing Entity
26+
- Protocol primacy ensuring technical integrity overrides governance decisions
27+
28+
## Background
29+
30+
The Qubic ecosystem has grown to include multiple workgroups, boards, and funding mechanisms. As operations have scaled, the need for formalized governance structures has become evident. This framework addresses:
31+
32+
1. **Structural Clarity** — Defining who does what, who reports to whom, and what authority each entity has
33+
2. **Fund Separation** — Ensuring funds are isolated by purpose with distinct controls
34+
3. **Accountability** — Establishing independent oversight and public transparency
35+
36+
## Framework Overview
37+
38+
### Fund Structure
39+
40+
| Fund | Purpose | Control |
41+
|------|---------|---------|
42+
| **CCF (Computor Controlled Fund)** | Funds Full Workgroups and approved Projects | Computor approval required |
43+
| **Incubation Fund** | Dedicated to incubation projects only | Incubation Board |
44+
| **Listing Fund** | Exchange listings only | Listing Board |
45+
46+
All three funds operate independently with strict isolation. Only CCF is subject to audit by the Finance Auditing Entity.
47+
48+
### Organizational Entities
49+
50+
**Full Workgroups** (funded by CCF):
51+
- Marketing Workgroup
52+
- Community Management Workgroup
53+
- Qubic Science Workgroup
54+
- Tech Workgroup (with Protocol Primacy)
55+
56+
**Small Execution Workgroups** (funded by Full Workgroups):
57+
- Business Development
58+
- Incubation Management
59+
60+
**Strategy Layer Boards**:
61+
- Strategic Board (WG Leads + Computor Delegates + Advisors) — defines strategic direction, first arbiter for conflicts
62+
- Incubation Board — controls Incubation Fund, defines incubation program strategy
63+
- Listing Board — controls Listing Fund, decides exchange strategy
64+
65+
**Oversight**:
66+
- Finance Auditing Entity — independent oversight of CCF spending, mandatory access to financial records, public transparency
67+
68+
### Key Principles
69+
70+
1. **Fund Separation** — Funds strictly separated by purpose with distinct controls
71+
2. **Decision vs Execution** — Boards decide direction; Workgroups execute
72+
3. **Independent Oversight** — Financial oversight is independent and mandatory
73+
4. **Protocol Primacy** — Protocol rules override all governance decisions; Tech Workgroup must refuse directives that violate protocol integrity
74+
75+
### Conflict Resolution
76+
77+
- **Standard conflicts**: Strategic Board → Computors (final authority)
78+
- **Protocol conflicts**: Tech Workgroup → CFB → Protocol (governance cannot override protocol constraints)
79+

## Implementation Timeline
94+
95+
| Phase | Period | Focus |
96+
|-------|--------|-------|
97+

98+
| **Phase 2** | Feb → Apr | Entity establishment (Finance Auditing Entity, full Strategic Board) |
99+
| **Phase 3** | Feb → May | Funding sustainability for Incubation and Listing funds |
100+
101+
**Key Milestones:**
102+
- Feb 5, 2026: Stakeholder presentation
103+
- Mar 11, 2026: Computor proposal
104+
- Mar 18, 2026: Framework approval (target)
105+
- Apr 15, 2026: All entities operational
106+
- May 15, 2026: Fully operational with sustainable funding
107+
108+
## Current State
109+
110+
**Already Active (9 entities):**
111+
- Computors, Tech Workgroup, Qubic Science, Marketing Workgroup
112+
- Business Development, Incubation Management
113+
- Incubation Board, Listing Board, Strategic Board (Interim)
114+
- CCF with steady income (8% Computor donation)
115+
116+
**Gaps to Address:**
117+
- Finance Auditing Entity (HIGH priority)
118+
- Full Strategic Board with Computor delegates (MEDIUM priority)
119+
- Sustainable funding for Incubation and Listing funds
120+
121+
