Questions and exclusions

Required questions

1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
   Does the official source establish the entity, current program, and bounded capability described?
2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
   Are potential fit, risks, access, geography, and engagement boundaries current and proportionate?
3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
   Could any wording imply partnership, endorsement, availability, procurement, authority, or affiliation that does not exist?

Explicit exclusions

• Indexing is not endorsement, due diligence completion, outreach, procurement, or a relationship.
• No aggregate organization score or sponsor-purchased ranking is permitted.

Requested controlled scopes: ecosystem-due-diligence, information-science

Frozen-evidence decision window: 90 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

Complete primary record set

Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.

   Engagement

   Proposed only, subject to a future fit check and then-current access rules: use public principles and guidance in a comparative governance study; consider contact or membership only if a legally constituted eligible cooperative later exists. No outreach, eligibility determination, commitment, or procurement has occurred.

   Capability

   Cooperative principles, federated governance, member representation, cooperative law and policy, education, and global networks.

   Profile Summary

   The International Cooperative Alliance is the global federation representing cooperative organizations and stewarding the Statement on the Cooperative Identity, values, and seven principles through regional, sectoral, policy, research, and education structures.

   Potential Fit

   Could inform cooperative ownership, democratic control, member education, capital rules, federation, and community accountability for Earthside GShips institutions; it is not a ready-made ship-governance model.

   Risks

   1. GShips Project is not presently established as an eligible cooperative member.
   2. Voluntary open membership and exit operate differently in a closed or capacity-limited habitat.
   3. Global principles require jurisdiction-specific law, labor, capital, conflict, and minority-rights safeguards.

   Evidence Boundary

   Official-link review: the official site was reachable and documents federation structure, current 2026–2030 strategy, membership categories, and cooperative identity. Public descriptions, performance, maturity, access, procurement, and current availability were not independently verified; independent review pending.

   Conflicts

   Conflicts were not assessed beyond publisher disclosure in this official-link review; financial, contracting, leadership, and institutional conflicts were not independently investigated.

   What Would Change

   A constituted cooperative, jurisdiction-specific legal analysis, member-approved governance, and evidence from high-dependency cooperatives would change fit.

Linked records—not review targets here

These records provide dependency or relationship context. Their decisions belong to their single primary packet, preventing double counting.

Frozen source snapshots

Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.

Offline packet and worksheet

Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.

Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

1. Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
2. Finalize a separate output file.

   node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
     --input DRAFT.json \
     --output COMPLETED.json

   This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.

3. Validate the packet and completed copy.

   node check-review-decisions.mjs \
     --packet PACKET.json \
     --decision COMPLETED.json

   Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.

4. Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.
