Structure describes AIMM’s four rings — Leadership, Voting Rights, Governance-approvers, and Contributors. This page describes what taking part in each ring actually looks like.
Contributing
Anyone can propose a change: a new piece of writing, a fix, a new resource, an idea for how the org’s work could reach a community it hasn’t yet. Contributing means opening a proposal — in practice, a pull request against the relevant repository — and describing what it is and why it fits AIMM’s mission and strategy.
A proposal opened this way doesn’t ship on its own. It’s reviewed, same as anyone’s, before it becomes part of what AIMM publishes or does.
Being a governance-approver
Governance-approvers review what contributors propose. Reviewing means checking a contribution for quality, consistency with AIMM’s existing work, and integrity — that it’s honestly represented and appropriate to publish under the org’s name — and then approving it so it can move forward.
Governance-approvers are also the people contributors go to for help finding the resources or support they need to contribute effectively.
Voting Rights and Leadership
Leadership carries the final responsibility for AIMM’s public output and its accountability as an organization — Leadership personally stands behind anything that ships publicly under AIMM’s name, even work someone else wrote. Voting Rights extends a real governance voice — weighing in on AIMM’s strategic direction and major decisions — to trusted people without requiring them to carry Leadership’s full access to the organization’s most sensitive records.
What review actually involves
A proposal moves through review before it’s part of AIMM’s public work. Ordinary review is a governance-approver’s job — checking the work, asking for changes if needed, and approving it once it’s ready. Decisions covers how bigger calls — the ones that go beyond ordinary review — get made and by whom.
