The now page. Hand-updated, dated, and honest about what is stalled. If this page is ever more than 60 days old, that is a signal in itself, and you should tell us.

Last updated 2026-08-09 · next update due by 2026-09-09

What exists

• The founding documents, v0.5 draft: Manifesto, Compact, Who This Is For, Charter.
• The domains, registered and paid for (ledger).
• This site, as a local mockup under founder review.

In motion

• Founder review of the v0.5 document suite.
• Recruiting the founding signatory cohort: named independent founders who sign the manifesto at launch, after which the list closes permanently.

Not started, honestly

• Public launch. No date yet; it will be announced here first.
• The State of Independent Founders survey.
• Incorporation and counsel review of the Charter.
• The Credential and the Voice NOT BUILT YET
